Lyrics

Hey why don't you settle down?
Can't you see you're burning your bridges down
It's a tiny town

And why don't you act your age
No one hears you rattling on your cage
With your midlife rage

Take a hard look, a good look
Tell me what you see.
You've been wasting your whole life
Pretending to be free

Why don't you call your dad?
I don't see how things could be that bad
How long can you stay mad?

Why don't you come on home
No one said you had to be a rolling stone
Just to be alone

Take a hard look, a good look
Tell me what you see.
You've been wasting your whole life
Pretending to be free

I know we've all got issues
But put away the tissues
Stop thinking 'bout what might have been.

The friends you're trying to keep out
They're only trying to reach out
Why the heck don't you just let them in?

Why don't you buy this song?
Learn the words and find out where you went wrong
When you sing along

Take a hard look, a good look
Tell me what you see.
You've been wasting your whole life
Pretending to be free

Come on home, call your dad...
