[Verse 1]

I'm just of real sad folk

And '85 was our best year

And she says it gets much worse before

It gets any better

[Chorus]

So I take it with a grain of salt

For the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night (Up at night)

Like it does me

[Verse 2]

We talk the way you do

And I have a sweet or two for

My only plus you say

They're getting bigger everyday

[Chorus]

So I take it with a grain of salt

For the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night (Up at night)

Like it does me

[Bridge]

I'll be in your car

I locked the keys in your car

I'll be in your car

For now

[Verse 3]

You wanna fool around? I ask

I get a sour reply

From the other wheel that always

Rises to the occasion

[Chorus]

So I take it with a grain of salt

For the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night (Up at night)

[Bridge]

I'll be in your car

I locked the keys in your car

I'll be in your car

For now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

I've been a mess for some time

Now I get what I deserve

For someone who leaves behind a life

I can't do better

[Chorus]

So I take it with a grain of salt

For the other means

I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

(Up at night, up at night, up at night)

Like it does me
