Boogie Nights

you were young, it was a long way to go

that's what you thought but it was shorter you know

you had it made when you were 21

and all at once all your sorrows were gone

so you thought who cares about rules

you little smart ass said: rules are for fools!

(Chorus):

boogie nights in spring

and a slow blues in winter 2x

now you're as old as your parents when they told you what to do

and you realize most of it is true

you must have been someone special indeed

with all the parties, cars, girls and weed

big tips for every little waitress in town

the sound of cash was a wonderful sound

(Chorus)

most of your friends are dead or broke or in jail

no more "new york, new york" you sit around and wait

in a flat in a town where no one knows your name

knowing that you're just living too long for this game

(Chorus) 2x

too many girls can you remember their names

or do you think they still remember your fame

with 35 they look twice as old

and your hot volcano has become cold
