Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
DGDG
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite

I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more

But I say why

I am remembering a girl when I was young
FCGDG
And we said These songs are true

These days are ours

We had a lot of fun

Some have died

Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
GCGDC
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
