Wait to wrap your shovel
See your breath, it's made of tar
It's a sub-zero archeological dig
To find that artifact of a car
It's a one line lie to corrode away the busted left hand light
But you're always reminded the oil one works right
Oh
And all the good old boys are playing bad new songs
On the country station while the city moves on
Hot new things, they don't age like wine
I'm on the bad side of 25
I'm on the bad side of 25
Yeah
So you swivel out the driveway
Of this tundra you call home
Bumper car your way back on to Earth
It's a place you hate to know so well
And yet feels so unknown
So you hula the snow off your parka all alone
When I see life as a ?????????
I live long enough to see some good friends die
It's a dangerous time to be a friend of mine
I'm on the bad side of 25
I'm on the bad side of 25
Some people fade like evening
Some just never go away
But there's simply no place safer than the bank
The day after the robbery
So you wait to grab the paper
Sip your coffee, too much grind
You don't so much mind the aging
You just mind the getting wise
It's two parts jack with two blood shot eyes
And you still feel cheated when your buzz subsides
But you put our parents through some sleepless nights
Still on the good side
Oh, still on the good side
How old will I be when I try to freeze time?
And my age degrades into a well-worn lie
She looks 18 between you and I
I'm on the bad side of 25
My lines and I slide by 35
Ain't that the bad side of 45?
Oh
Let me by the Berlin Wall singing, oh
I'm on the bad side of 25
You remember before Chu(?) novels
I'm on the bad side (of 25)
You remember before Mike Tyson was a champion
(I'm on the bad side of 25)
You remember the Superbowl 7
Don't sing it
(I'm on the bad side of 25)
I'm on the bad bad bad bad side, yeah, I'm on
(I'm on the bad side of 25)
I'm on the bad side, on the bad side
(I'm on the bad side of 25)
The bad, bad side
(I'm on the bad side of 25)
Bad, bad, bad, bad side, bad side, bad side, bad side
(I'm on the bad side of 25)
