- I'm Not That Way Anymore Lyrics / with translationsWe used to get crazy every Saturday night
We drive into town and get feelin' right
A child of the 60's in 74
But I'm not that way anymore
Well I burned the tires of my Chevrolet
Tryin' to impress the girls that I date
And I've been a gambler when I couldn't score
But I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
Time's closin' yesterdays door
I'm just as happy as I was before
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
American Bandstand, The Sullivan Show
I listen to the Opery, on my radio
Well Dick Clark's still lookin' as young as before
But I'm not that way anymore
Well I swapped my loafers for cowboy boots
Bought me some jeans gave away all my suits
My razor is rusted my barber is bored
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
Time's closin' yesterdays door
But I'm just as happy as I was before
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
Times closin' yesterdays door
But I'm just as happy as I was before
'Cause I'm not that way and you're not that way
We're not that way anymore
Oh yeah yeah
We drive into town and get feelin' right
A child of the 60's in 74
But I'm not that way anymore
Well I burned the tires of my Chevrolet
Tryin' to impress the girls that I date
And I've been a gambler when I couldn't score
But I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
Time's closin' yesterdays door
I'm just as happy as I was before
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
American Bandstand, The Sullivan Show
I listen to the Opery, on my radio
Well Dick Clark's still lookin' as young as before
Well I swapped my loafers for cowboy boots
Bought me some jeans gave away all my suits
My razor is rusted my barber is bored
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
Time's closin' yesterdays door
But I'm just as happy as I was before
'Cause I'm not that way anymore
I'm not that way anymore
Times closin' yesterdays door
But I'm just as happy as I was before
'Cause I'm not that way and you're not that way
We're not that way anymore
Oh yeah yeah
