All my rowdy friends have settled down
And they seem to be more in the laid back songs
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud.
Everybody just wants to go back home
I myself have seen my wilder days
And I have seen my name at the top of the page
But I need to find a friend just to hang around
But nobody wants to get high on the town
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
Yeah, I think I know what my father meant
When he sang about a lost highway and old George Jones
I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight
And Waylon's staying home and loving Jesse more these days
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
And the hangovers hurt more then they used to
And cornbread and iced tea took the place of pills and ninety-proof
And none of us seem to do things quite like we used to do
And nobody wants to get high and get loud
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
Yeah, me and my rowdy friends done rowdied on down.
And they seem to be more in the laid back songs
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud.
Everybody just wants to go back home
I myself have seen my wilder days
And I have seen my name at the top of the page
But I need to find a friend just to hang around
But nobody wants to get high on the town
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
Yeah, I think I know what my father meant
When he sang about a lost highway and old George Jones
I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight
And Waylon's staying home and loving Jesse more these days
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
And the hangovers hurt more then they used to
And cornbread and iced tea took the place of pills and ninety-proof
And none of us seem to do things quite like we used to do
And nobody wants to get high and get loud
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
Yeah, me and my rowdy friends done rowdied on down.

Elliott makes a few changes in his version that deviate from the original lyric-wise.. I made sure this version is the way he did it.
I think it's obvious what it's about: getting older and perhaps feeling more responsible (and the benefits of that change), even though the person singing seems to miss being able to let go, to get drunk and hang around.
Definatly a song everyone can relate to I think, even those of us that don't get drunk too often or use drugs can feel his need to unwind like he used to.
And hey, above all things, this is just a really fun song (especially the Live at the Largo recording anyways) what with all the laughing and all.
