These Days lyrics

Hey baby, is that you?

Wow your hair got so long

Yeah, yeah I love it, I really do

Norma Jean, ain't that the song we'd sing in the car

Driving down town, top down

Making the rounds

Checking out the bands on Doheny Ave.

Yeah, life throws you curves

But you learn to swerve

Me, I swung and I missed

And the next thing you know

I'm reminiscin'

Dreamin' old dreams

Wishing old wishes, like you would be back again

[Chorus:]

I wake up and teardrops

They fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to

And then

I head off to my job

Guess not much has changed

Watch the clock

Head for home

Check the phone, just in case

Go to bed, dream of you

That's what I'm doing these days

Yeah, that's what I'm doing

Someone told me

After college, you ran off to Vegas

You married a rodeo cowboy, wow

That ain't the girl I knew

Me, I've been a few places

Mostly here and there, once or twice

Still sorting out life but I'm doing alright

Yeah it's good to see you too

Well hey girl, you're late

And those planes they don't wait

But if you ever come back around

This sleepy old town

Promise me you'll stop in

To see an old friend

But until then...

[Chorus:]

I wake up and teardrops

They fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to

And then

I head off to my job

Guess not much has changed

Watch the clock

Head for home

Check the phone, just in case

Go to bed, dream of you

That's what I'm doing these days
