Took a few years to get here, brother
Greens are greener in the heat of summer
Calmness on this evenin´ seems a drug
Graham and Lucas are havin´ kids
While Steve´s busy raising his

While I climb out a hole I never dug
Likely there´s a spot twenty minutes or so
We used to get wasted ridin´ rodeo
Now it´s all mechanical bull

Are the old ways dead or livin´ in my head?
There´s a smile on a photo catchin´ dust in your old apartment
Are the old ways dead or livin´ in my head?
It´s all veneer and up from here, so take a rest

So I´ll set off runnin´ like I said I´s gonna and find another rodeo
I´m a mechanical bull, throw a quarter and watch me go
And I get a little sad in the evenings knowin´ I´ll never get a beatin´
Like bein´ young and dumb again in this life´s long rodeo

Maybe I´ll move to Texas, let my soul grow bored and restless
And learn to rope and ride like Le Gros
Maybe I´ll learn the mando and to pick a banjo too
Ride all night on the highways like Two-Show

Are the old ways dead or livin´ in my head?
There´s a smile on a photo catchin´ dust in your old apartment
Are the old ways dead or livin´ in my head?
It´s all veneer and up from here, so take a rest
It´s all veneer and up from here, so take a rest
It´s all veneer and up from here, so take a rest

Took a few years to get here, brother
Greens are greener in the heat of summer
Calmness on this evenin´ seems a drug
