NIGHTS I LAY DOWN

Nights I have lay down thinking

find a way to become rich and famous guy

afford myself the dream life before I die 

but finally end with to much drinking

They can do what every comes in there mind

driving big cars and spending money everywhere

not thinking of the parties but being there

just walking around and being kind

a fight or a small riot with the wife

a new girlfriend or some sexual drive

all will be written down and readed wide 

being famous is strongly depended on the tide

in my nights I am always on the top

never I realized that the life did come to a stop

no changes has been around for long

even the body is not anymore so strong

the girls I always had admired

now are old and almost all are fired

lost there jobs and no more pleasure

they carry there old pictures around like treasure

look that was me when showing up

when I had the life of a famous pinup

yes daily another man for me

you don't believe, here is my dairy

so long did all the lights turned off for them

no longer they are considered to be a gem

but am I so much better off than they

if I look in the mirror my hair gets grey

yes time pass quick for all my friends

we cannot keep up with all the trends

older and wiser we all will be

non of us can avoid it you see
