Fifteen didn't even count Baby-blind with marbles in my mouth Cuyahoga girls with knockin' knees Grinding my gears up against the trees Fifteen was a chorus on the breeze Twenty came and set me free Miles between the ties that bind and me I'd play the jester all through college town And razor-wire girls would cut me down A good day at twenty was just above the ground At twenty-five, I was sorted out Drunk on the restaurant raids of the new south Counter girls would wink at what I said And teach me how to touch them in their beds At twenty-five, I was way ahead Thirty was a nervous laugh Counter girls wised up and whistled past I lost track of the door men and the bands And I lost some lovers with my sleight-of-hand At thirty I just scattered them like sand Hit thirty-five and up came the fear I went to seven weddings in a year I saw seven sailors come back home to shore They took their mothers waltzin' across the floor Thirty-five brought darkness to my door One bar-back knows my name and the rest are polite As I settle up and stumble home tonight To taped-up pictures of all my cousins' kids To a rented, littered room far off the grid Where I'll sleep with everything I did.
