Last time I saw you, you had a ticket in hand going one way, You'd put the furniture out on the curb for the Salvation to take away. And you don't call like you used to and I don't write like I And now you're telling me gotten so I nearly lost you for good. Well you've been the high notes in my laughter since you've If I'd known now as I waved you goodbye, I'd flagged that Arntrak and gotten on. And foolish we derided, are my companions well known. I guess you're finding out your own way life lonely alone.
But when the love of our has passed away And our hair has turned or blue or gray Don't forget I'll be you forget we have things to do Buy us a in retirement land Wear polyester and start up a Be every virile older savior Embarrass our kids imprudent behavior. And realize our dreams... You and me, girl, we'll be the Queens.
Oh the grand lives we mapped out, oh the dames we'd be I never knew how much I leaned on you, 'til I found me And I don't call like I used to, nothing much to say Cause I don't really have to you, I've put my dreams all away So every wish that runs through you, throughout the years write down. And I when we get to the other end, we'll do them all before we hit the ground Oh the good we'll have then, like the days we once had So don't you go doing foolish things like learning good wine from bad
When the love of our lives has passed And our has turned silver or blue or gray Don't I'll be calling you Don't forget we have to do Buy us a in retirement land polyester and start up a band Find a nude beach and practice our Write feminist poetry and our names on stalls And maybe our dreams... You and me, girl, be the Shuffleboard Queens.
