I was working when I should've gone to school
Never got the hang of that college thing
Still pick up my guitar when I get a chance
But the band never cut it on the local scene

Still call up the guys when I roll into town
We run through the old songs for a laugh
Somebody always talks about setting up a show
But it never goes any farther than that

But only babies cry
Only babies cry
Only babies cry
Cry

Tonight I'm flipping through old notebooks
I'm amazed how much I've changed
Tonight I'm flipping through old notebooks
But now I'm on an empty page

But only babies cry
Only babies cry
Only babies cry
Cry
