lyrics

I can still put a grin on the face
of a stranger passing by
but I’m too old now to go chasing round
every wondering eye

so quiet down boy in me
quiet down boy in me
that’s a young man’s game
and there’ll be hell to pay
so quiet down boy in me

silver-tongued were the songs I sung
to muses kneeled in dreams
where the dim red light and gas station wine
grow sweet in memory

so quiet down boy in me
quiet down boy in me
that’s a young man’s game
and there’ll be hell to pay
so quiet down boy in me

I’m good at telling me no
whenever I know that it’s just greener grass
and I wish I believed it myself when I say
that I left my old ways in the past

if I’d only saved half the love I gave
I’d have enough now to retire
though I’m deep in debt I don’t regret
my path straight through the fire

so quiet down boy in me
quiet down boy in me
maybe it’s enough to be in love
oh quiet down boy in me
maybe it’s enough to be in love
oh quiet down boy in me
quiet down boy in me
