Living would be easy without all this conversation
Everybody always wondering what it's all about
How much did you get paid?

How much did you get laid?
Tell me what's the cost of living anymore
Cause I remember when the summer heat would melt the pavement
Sitting on the corner of the porch watching cars go by
Well before the bitter haze of my beer drinking days, that came way too soon and haven't left
Looking down that old road, I know not what I see
The bridge is high, the water is low, just like you and me
There's a song that I heard on the radio today that took me back, took me back to watertown
Dad was in the army when we moved to the watertown
He said we'd get to Texas when he figured how
And there's angels down there, there's people who care, seagulls and humid air
Looking down that old road, I know not what I see
The bridge is high, the water is low, just like you and me
There's a song that I heard on the radio today that took me back, took me back
I remember the day my mamma cried, when she heard that Elvis had died
And her tears fell to the shaggy carpet of her room
Looking down that old road, I know not what I see
The bridge is high, the water is low, just like you and me
There's a song that I heard on the radio today that took me back, took me back to watertown
