'NOTHER HOKEY SONG: I also hear this one as a country tune:
GO TO BED IN TROUBLE
--------------------
Looking back on the summers I spent
I learned a lot of lessons
But I never knew what they meant
I would wake up wore out
I'd go to bed all wide awake
I couldn't keep track of all the girlfriends
or of all the drugs I'd take
(chorus)
Goddamn
that was then
I must have been a whole lot younger when
I could go to bed in trouble
wake up and start all over again
(Now I'm) ...Chasing away all the mistakes that I made
Making friends with all my enemies
so I don't have to be afraid
I'm looking forward to the future
Got a purpose to my life
I'm trying to shake loose all the ghosts
from me so I can find a wife
(chorus)
Goddamn
that was then
I must have been a whole lot younger when
I could go to bed in trouble
wake up and start all over again
I have a notion, you might call it conjecture
That all my past lives and my missteps
were just practice for my future
And when I reach it then I'll finally understand
that all those lessons were what helped me
become a huband and a man
(bridge)
And if I should falter...
make a mistake along the way
I hope that I'll remember
everyday is a new day
(chorus)
Goddamn
that was then
I must have been a whole lot younger when
I could go to bed in trouble
wake up and start all over again
