Deirdre Flint - The Shuffleboard Queens Lyrics
Last time I saw you, you had a ticket in your hand going one way,You'd put the furniture out on the curb for the Salvation Army to take away.And you don't call like you used to and I don't write like I shouldAnd now you're telling me life's gotten so I nearly lost you for good.Well you've been the high notes in my laughter since you've goneIf I'd known now as I waved you goodbye, I'd have flagged that Arntrak and gotten on.And foolish goals we derided, are my companions well known.I guess you're finding out your own way life gets lonely alone.But when the love of our lives has passed awayAnd our hair has turned silver or blue or grayDon't forget I'll be calling youDon't forget we have things to doBuy us a condo in retirement landWear polyester and start up a bandBe every virile older man's saviorEmbarrass our kids with imprudent behavior.And maybe realize our dreams...You and me, girl, we'll be the Shuffleboard Queens.Oh the grand lives we mapped out, oh the grand dames we'd beI never knew how much I leaned on you, 'til I found only meAnd I don't call like I used to, nothing much left to sayCause I don't really have to tell you, I've put my dreams all awaySo every wish that runs through you, throughout the years write them down.And I swear when we get to the other end, we'll do them all before we hit the groundOh the good times we'll have then, like the days we once hadSo don't you go start doing foolish things like learning good wine from badWhen the love of our lives has passed awayAnd our hair has turned silver or blue or grayDon't forget I'll be calling youDon't forget we have things to doBuy us
