Who Woulda Thunk It

Greg Brown

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
