"When You Were" (2013)
At 16 you were so sweet, I tailgated jailbait
Lay awake at night and knew I couldn't stay away
When you were 21 and partying at the clubs
I was starting to figure out it's hard to be your love
When you were 26, you were screwing plenty dicks
It's a good thing for me I don't give many shits
When you were 29, such a mess (you were fine)
"Set aside you and I--foolish pride," you would jibe
When you were 34, going through your third divorce
At court someone called you a worthless dirty whore
At 38 you had two kids but your hips was still great
Your wits were amazing, your tits were both fake
When you were 43, you wasn't over the hill
You was choking Hoboken hoagies sober or swilled
When you were 50: half a sench, still had half an ass to mention
I woulda smashed it fast in less than half a second
When you were 57, you were looking pissed as ever
Gazing up at heaven thinking, "where the hell is Evan?"
Now you're 65, matter of fact--so am I
Maybe we could get a drink and retire tonight...
