Roaring Twenties from Expatriate by Armory Recordings

I lived my roaring twenties, in ragamuffin band
We toured from town to town in busted minivan
But now I'm getting older, and I can't quite hit those notes
A great depression's rolling down that long and winding road

I lived my roaring twenties, the devil in my smile
A glass of scotch was all I need, a lover all the while
But now I'm getting older, and getting grey above the ears
A blushing bride is all I want to spend my final years

What's done is done, and that's all I can say
But I must admit, I made some dumb mistakes along the way
Hindsight's 20/20, but I'm blind to what's behind me
It started with a war, when my life was so carefree

I lived my roaring twenties, my thirties up ahead
A fear of growing old, it's one that haunts me in my bed
And as I lie awake, unable to fall sleep
A great depression's comin' now, I hang my head and weep
:
What's done is done, but my life's not over yet
But I must admit, sometimes I think I've got all I'm gonna get
Hindsight's 20/20, but the future's out of focus
It started with a war, when my life is far from hopeless

I lived my roaring twenties, I'm man enough to see
The past has passed, but there's still so much more I can be
I might not hit the highs, and my hair's still getting grey
But I've left that great depression, in my tracks along the way
I've left that great depression, my new deal's on its way
Yeah, I've left that great depression, and this dog's gonna have it's day.
