Lyrics

This Ol? Ma and Pa
Music & Lyrics: Richard Jennings

Eighteen years ago, we didn?t have a clue
Walkin? all night with the twins, One for me, one for you.
Our social life was ended. Our partying days were lost.
From a hot young couple to this ol? Ma and Pa!

Well, the twins kept us runnin? from playground to school
We tried to teach them the Golden Rule
By night we?d be too tuckered out to ?get it on?.
We?d both say, ?Not tonight honey? for this o? Ma and Pa!


Now the kids just went off to school.
What we?ve got is an empty nest.
We?re still together. We made it through.
I guess we survived the test!


A boy and a girl, they go diff?rent ways
From 4H to Scouts, we were in a drivin? haze.
Our social life was coffee watchin? the kids play baseball.
Playin? chauffeur and coach, this ol? Ma and Pa.

Teenage rebellion made us want to scream!
She was tough on you /He was rough on me.
They had to push their luck. Had to test the law.
Sure was humbling for this Ma and Pa!


We?ve got the house to ourselves. It seems so quiet.
And you?re lookin? fine.
Let?s rock and roll away the night
Feel the tingle up our spine.


What will we do with all our time?
I?ll still be yours. You?ll still be mine.
Lookin? forward and back on all those years with awe.
Still feelin? sexy, this ol? Ma and Pa.


Now we?ve got plenty of time.
I?m still yours. Your still mine.
Lookin? forward to all those years with Y?all
Gonna keep lovin?, this ol? Ma and Pa.
