A song telling of a past relationship and a fear of growing old with a boring life, “Sexy Drummer” is the 14th track on Guthrie’s 2000 album A Thousand Songs. In 2015, Guthrie released a reissue of the album in which the song was remade as a bonus track.
Unjustifiably the only good thing I've ever done
There's more to this than what you think is life come undone
All my insights never got you anywhere
Which inspired instant silence oh...
And they'll go back down to the other side
"Crime, crime, crime," say it again
All my insights never got you anywhere
With fifty-two violins at your disposal
You shrug them off
And the tune broke
Make shadows jump
Jump sleeping sheep
To kill a wolf
With hungry mouths
That speak in rhymes
Join parades of loss
About how all this time
Knowledge knew
Or just parade around with plans to kill a need for it
They'll now the score
Oh come on now, you're only 17
Oh come on now, you're only 28
Oh come on now, you're only 64
And that's all I need
They'll now the score
Oh come on now, you're only 26
Oh come on now, you're only 81
Oh come on now, you're only 108
And that's all I need
They'll know the bore
Of a life when you've seen it all before
Should've never got up to open the side door
Let them in 'cause they'll only ask for more
And that's all they need
I don't know
