Old Enough To Know Better

(アルバム： Etc. - 2001)

In the prime of your life
At a time when a crisis is common in men
Old enough to know better
In the middle of life
Equally distant from mother and maker and my
Old enough to know better

Look at you man, she says
You're mutton dressed as lamb
Fancy yourself, very gentleman's quarterly
What in the world would a home county girl want with you?

Opportunity waits
In the window for men in a moment of weakness
Old enough to know better
And when it's too late, she smiles
Takes your hand and says, sorry I ruined your life
Old enough to know better

Look at you man, she says
You're mutton dressed as lamb
Fancy yourself, very gentleman's quarterly
What in the world would a home county girl want with you?

There's no release in your life...
