I´m gettin´ tired of hangin´ around
Think I will marry and settle down
´Cause this old night life
This old sportin´ life is killing me

I got a letter from my home
Most of my friends are dead and gone
I began to worry
I began to wonder about days to come

My mother used to talk to me
I was young and foolish and could not see
Now I got no mother
My sisters and my brothers don´t care for me
I swear I´m gonna change my ways
I´m gettin´ older every day
When I was young and foolish
It was so easy to run out and play

I´m gettin´ tired of hangin´ round
Think I will marry and settle down
´Cause this old night life
This old sportin´ life is killin´ me

This old night life
This old sportin´ life is killin´ me
