Well... (verse 1) We talked and talked the night away Then we talked into the next day! Then we jawed and jabbered even longer So long my side hair growing longer (chorus) I should have shut up We weren't even talking about anything Of interest. What a way to age Forty years to learn silence (verse 2) When we finally ended our talking We knew we wouldn't be walking Forty years had come and gone I don't know how I avoided the john so long? (chorus) I should have shut up We weren't even talking about anything Of interest. What a way to age Forty years to learn silence I need to get some medication And learn what's happing in the nation For it's been so long since we seen the light We talked so long into that night And into the coming years (chorus) I should have shut up We weren't even talking about anything Of interest. What a way to age Forty years to learn silence I now have gray all through my hair I go around in a wheelchair It really was a lifetime wasted All because we couldn't shut our mouths (chorus) I should have shut up We weren't even talking about anything Of interest. What a way to age Forty years to learn silence I wonder? Did our parents leave us the house? Did our parents leave us the house? DID OUR PARENTS LEAVE US THE HOUSE!?
