These days things are moving much better than they used to move
Maybe i've finally let myself say that there's much less to prove
I used to go running round crazy trying to be more than a man
But i'm doing a lot more lately doing the best that i can.

These days i get less angry when things don't combine
Laughing at how i behave sometimes is more in my line
Whenever that man in the mirror starts to look troubled or blue
I take him aside for a moment and tell him we're just passing through.
These days i'm a lot calmer when the wind runs away with my hat
It might be that i'm a lot saner but i'm not so sure about that
These days i'm a lot weaker when my baby says she's got a plan
I guess i'm more eager to please her 'cause i'm just her loving 'ol man.

These days i got a feeling for home like i never had
It must be the warmth of the woman i love that keeps me in bed
It's only taken a lifetime to get round to changing my ways
But i'm having more fun, getting more done,
Taking it easy these days.
