Lyrics

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, if 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
