"Rowdy Days" lyrics

They say when you are young you're wild and free
Looking back on it now I've been wild most of my life it seems
All those nights we've shared down that jagged road
A few buddies in a van through all the highs and lows
And the good lord only knows how we've made through
And came out the other side somehow through the recklessness of youth

My rowdy days don't seem so long ago they say I'm getting old
But the truth is honey I'm just now getting right
Rock bottom don't make a man
It's where you end up after your take a stand
It's when you finally figure out about the finer things in life
It's what you do with the rest of your time

Yea it's true I've lived a life most people would dream about
But there's been so many times I've tried to burn it all down
Oh but for once I'm finally free
My hands no longer shake
And my mind is at ease
Your the only reason I've made it through
To see these kids grow up and to find a love that's true

My rowdy days don't seem so long ago they say I'm getting old
But the truth is honey I'm just now getting right
Rock bottom don't make a man
It's where you end up after your take a stand
It's when you finally figure out about the finer things in life
It's what you do with the rest of your time

My rowdy days don't seem so long ago they say I'm getting old
But the truth is honey I'm just now getting right
Rock bottom don't make a man
It's where you end up after your take a stand
It's when you finally figure out about the finer things in life
It's what you do with the rest of your time
