Testo They Just Don't Make em Like That Anymore Al Kooper
Fame is a funny thing
The way it wraps itself around you like a second skin
And you start to go up
At the same time you start to go down
Friends that ya had before
Are never quite the same friends anymore
And the new ones leave a lot to be desired
Still discovering that I love to play & I love to sing
But I'm quite content to stand right here on the shore
With a teardrop in each eye
Cause I have watched most of my friends die
And THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE
For sure THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE
I remember when we sat in the bar
And we thought that we'd conquered the world
Cause we always had the latest drugs
And our choice of the prettiest girls
But today's such a long way from that bar
And it's so hard to survive that shootin' star
But I ain't no saint
Just a veteran of that war
And if we could learn from the past
Maybe we wouldn't wanna live our lives that fast
Cause ya know what we were put on this earth for
And THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE
No sir THEY JUST DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE
