Lyrics

A Little Less Green

1 Two kids - doin' a trapeze act
In the treetops - no net
And that young one - no fear at all
The branch breaks, he does an imitation
Of an excocet
He's lucky - the water breaks his fall

pre And decades down the line
He's still havin' a real good time

ch Just a little less reckless
Than he once woulda been
Just a little less reckless now
Just a little less green

2 Fast forward - we're ridin' in a pick-up
You're tellin' me "slow down"
I lose the road and do a ten point turn
Four hours waiting on a tow-truck
Then the sherrif rolls round
It's one way to learn

pre I finally make it home
One broke wallet - no broke bones

ch Just a little less reckless
A little less Jimmy Dean
A little less reckless now
Just a little less green

br And it's some life, looking back
It ain't all milk and honey
But it's one life I wouldn't miss
Not for love or money

solo

pre As we get a few lines around the eyes
Hopefully we're gonna get wise

ch Just a little less reckless
Than we once woulda been
Just a little less reckless now
Just a little less green
