Musicbrainz DBOff Our Rockers, Actin' Crazy
With the Right Medication We Won't Be Lazy
Doin' the Old Folks Boogie
Down On the Farm
Wheelchairs, They Was Locked Arm in Arm
Paired Off Pacemakers With Matchin' Alarms
Gives Us Jus' One More Chance
To Spin One More Yarn
And You Know That You're Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can't Fill
Doin' the Old Folks Boogie
And Boogie We Will
'cause to Us the Thought's As Good As a Thrill
Back At the Home,
No Time Is Your Own,
Facillities There, They're All Out On Loan
The Bank Forclose, and Your Bankruptcy Shows
And Your Credit Creeps to An All-time Low
So You Know, That You're Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can't Fill
Try and Get a Rise From An Atrophied Muscle,
And the Nerves in Your Thigh Just Quivers and Fizzles
So You Know, That You're Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can't Fill

| floydginger | Posted: Apr 26, 2011 - 08:11 "You know you are over the hill when your mind makes a promise your body can't fill" Man oh Man, that is EXACTLY how I felt this am. Love this band! |
| LPCity (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Dec 21, 2010 - 14:58 F! E! A! T! Always loved this song, and so many others from the Little Feat catelog. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Nov 19, 2010 - 21:38 Yesss... awesome... great music and profound lyrics... |
| keller1 (In A Gadda Da Vida, Baby) | Posted: Oct 19, 2010 - 08:51 Brilliant album. Every track should be playlisted here. Same w/Feats Don't Fail Me Now. Feat are generally a great live band but I've seen em mail in shows, too, probably a function of a touring schedule that's clearly too heavy. When they're on, though, they're still one of the great live acts, even without Lowell. When the late, great Ritchie Hayward (RIP to one of the great groove drummers that ever picked up sticks) was too sick to tour I gather they had a replacement —- anybody seen the band with him? |
| HazzeSwede (Vinyl Land) | Posted: Oct 19, 2010 - 05:34 My kind of Boogie ! Not the easiest tempo to get to groove,Feat can. |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Oct 19, 2010 - 05:32 Love those lyrics. Super tune from a really good album. Lots of good songs on this one. |
| jersey_birdman | Posted: Sep 17, 2010 - 12:07 Richie Hayward did just pass away.... |
| BoynHill | Posted: Sep 17, 2010 - 12:06 Just makes me think of the movie The Full Monty with Tom Jones ' You can leave your hat on' |
| Baby_M (a 100+-year old building in downtown Akron, Ohio) | Posted: Sep 17, 2010 - 12:06 I've always loved the refrain: "You know/That you're over the hill/Mind makes you promises your body can't fill...." I once wrote something about an underpowered car and sort of quoted this song: "The styling's making promises the drivetrain can't fill." |
| dkwalika (Upper Midwest) | Posted: Sep 17, 2010 - 12:05 Saw these guys up here in Calumet, MI, in '06, and they really brought it. Fine stuff. Didn't their drummer just pass away? |
