LYRICS & MUSIC BRETT EVERY
Man aged 40 walks into a bar
And meets himself aged 20, maybe 21
"Do you drink here often?" the younger one said
"No, not as much as I did -
When I was twenty, when I was you
With a body built invincible and new
I used to wonder what I would do, what I'd say
If I wandered in and met my self aged 40 this way"
Man at 40 walks into a bar
And meets himself aged 20, maybe 21
And he said, "God you've got it easy, kid"
"I knew you'd say that," the younger one said
"But don't you remember, when you were me
Sneaking into bars by virtue of your brother's ID
And you would wonder what you would say, what you'd do
If you wandered in and met a forty year old you:
You'd say 'I hope I won't, disappoint
I hope I won't let you down
I hope I make you proud'"
Man at 40 walks into a bar
And meets himself aged 20, almost 21
And the younger one said, "Would you care to dance?"
Man at 40 said, "I thought you'd never ask"
And the younger one says: you're holding up better than I thought
And the older one thinks: you're not as great as I recall
And all along, by the jukebox looking on
All the while, the man at 60 shakes his head and smiles...
i love it
