Greg Brown Who Woulda Thunk It
We used to say I could walk all night, and we could and
we did
Down that gravel road, to that tiny town, and the door
always opened
Now we say I could walk all night. It's not true
We can't walk all night, no, because we don't want to
We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast,
sometime tomorrow
We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast,
sometime tomorrow
And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk
it
Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it
We used to say I could eat a horse, and we could and we
did
In fast food joints in the middle of someplace on the
way to someplace else
Now we say I could eat a horse. It's not true
We can't eat a horse, no, because we don't want to
We want somethin from the cookbook, that new one with
the great graphics
Somethin from the cookbook, that new one with the great
graphics
Oh and I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda
thunk it
Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it
We used to say I don't care if I never have any money
As long as I have my sweet honey and a shack in the
woodland
Now we say I don't care if I don't have money, but it's
not true
We can't live without money, no, because we don't want
to
We want one of those and two of those, and oh that one
looks neat, wrap it up
Put it on my MasterCard. Put it on my Visa
And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk
it
Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it
Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey, hey hey now, who woulda thunk it
We used to say I don't care if I never grow old
I'm gonna flame, gonna burn, take one quick turn and be
gone like James Dean
Now we don't say that. It's too late to die young
So we sit at the table long after supper and a good
wine
Here's what we sing, we go, hey hey, hey hey, who
woulda thunk it
Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it
