lyrics

I was really
Something
Before I met
You

Fast cars
Fine wines
In 1962

I was really
Hot
When I made
Love
Back then

Now I’m faking
Borrowed
Moves
Like other
Old men

Uptown or downtown
I’ve lived
In hovels
And brownstones

That was then
This is now
Holy cow

That was then
This is now
Holy cow

I was really
Primed
To make
Bells chime

Now I’m living
Hand to mouth
On my
Last dime

I was really
Special
Before
Electricity

I was a smooth
Operator
Living in
The city

Uptown or downtown
I’ve lived
In hovels
And brownstones

That was then
This is now
Holy cow

That was then
This is now
Holy cow

I was smoking
Reefers like
There was
No tomorrow

Now I drink
Jack Daniel’s
To drown
My sorrows

Uptown or downtown
I’ve lived
In hovels
And brownstones

That was then
This is now
Holy cow (x 2)
