I'm just of real sad folk

And '85 was our best year

And she says it gets much worse

Before it gets any better



So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night

Like it does me



We talk the way you do

I have a sweet or two

For my only plus you say

They're getting bigger everyday



So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night

Like it does me



I'll be in your car

I locked the keys in your car

I'll be in your car for now



You wanna fool around? I ask

I get a sour reply

From the other wheel

That always rises to the occasion



So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

Like it does me



I'll be in your car

I locked the keys in your car

I'll be in your car for now



I've been a mess for some time now

I get what I deserve

For someone who leaves behind a life

I can't do better



So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

(Up at night, up at night, up at night)

Like it does me
