Lyrics
I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day
It's hard enough being alone (being alone)
Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)
Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there
It's hard enough being alone (being alone)
Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)
Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there
I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life, I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down, I think you're rude
All my life, I try to make a better day
It's hard enough being alone (being alone)
Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)
Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there
