All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down (corrected)

Hank Williams, Jr.

Transposer:

A few corrections to the previously submitted tab...but nothing major. INTRO : Verse 1 All my rowdy friends have settled down And they seem to be more into laid back songs. Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud ev’rybody just wants to go back home Verse 2 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 run a round But nobody wants to get high on the town And all my rowdy friends have settled down Chorus And I think I know what my father meant When he sang about a lost highway And ol’ George Jones I’m glad to see is fin’lly gettin’ straight And Waylon’s stayin’ home and lovin’ Jesse more these days And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud And all my rowdy friends have settled down Instrumental: Verse 3 And the hangovers hurt more than they used to And cornbread and iced tea’s took the place of pills and ninety proof And it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do And nobody wants to get high on the town And all my rowdy friends have settled down. Chorus And I think I know what my father meant When he sang about a lost highway. And Johnny Cash don’t act like he did back in sixty eight And Kris he is a movie star and he’s moved off to L. A. And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud And all my rowdy friends have settled down Yeah me and my rowdy friends done rowdied on down

La chanson évoque le passage du temps et la transformation des amitiés. L’artiste constate que ses compagnons d'autrefois, avec qui il vivait des moments de folie, ont maintenant choisi un style de vie plus calme et tranquille. Chacun semble préférer des soirées sereines, loin des excès d’autrefois, et il regrette un peu cette époque où ils s’amusaient ensemble sans retenue. En réfléchissant à ses propres choix de vie, il se rend compte que sa vision a évolué, et il souhaite retrouver des amis pour partager des moments simples plutôt que des aventures effrénées. Le contexte est celui de la nostalgie, où l'on observe avec lucidité la transition vers une vie plus posée, tout en se remémorant des souvenirs de jeunesse vibrants et insouciants. C'est aussi une réflexion sur les valeurs de l'amitié et de l'amour qui prennent le pas sur les plaisirs futiles.
