Cool

He really liked flanel with red over-alls
If you look in his closet it was all that you saw
He dressed up on Sunday and thought he look neat
In a green leasure suit with wing tips on his feet

And I was 15 and real hip with long hair
And I asked momma why is daddy so square
And I couldn't belive all that he didn't know
I guess it's hard to be kool when your 40 years old

The night i turned 20 she came with the news
Scared half to death and didn't know what to do
I told her I'm sorry but it's not to late there's a docter
I heard of that fixes mastakes

I though he was workin' and I was alone
But he was stang behind me when I hug up the phone
He said son there's a few thing you don't know about
Ff you listen real close we can figure this out
Cus I was 18 and as wild as it came when one night
A young girl told me the samething and you wouldn't be here
If she haden't said no you see it's hard to be cool when you'r 20 years old

These day's I like flanel and old leive jeans
And I look at my young boy who just turned 15 and I know what he's thinking
But's it ok to know because it's hard to be cool
When your 15 years old
