Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I’m here on my couch with the same old show,
Wonderin’ where everyone’s got to go.
My phone buzzes once, then it goes back to sleep—
Guess even the spammers gave up on me.

[Chorus]
My kids all grown, yeah, they moved out fast,
Left me here in the dust, but I ain’t dead last.
They call me up just to tell me goodbye,
It’s a little hello, with a big ol’ sigh.

[Verse 2]
I tried online dating, but it’s just a game,
Swipe left, swipe right—hey, they all look the same.
Sent a “Hey there!” message, didn’t get a reply,
Guess it’s me and my couch till the day I die.

[Chorus]
Yeah, my kids all grown, got their own big plans,
Got their careers and their Instagram fans.
They text me quick with an emoji or two,
Say, “Love ya, Dad!” like that’s somethin’ new.

[Bridge]
They say, “Keep yourself busy,” but I’m out of tricks—
Watched every show, read every flick,
I could write a book called Lonely and Wise,
Or maybe just nap—same ol’ reprise.

[Chorus]
Now my kids all grown, yeah, they’ve flown so high,
Look down on me from the big blue sky.
Sendin’ postcards from places I can’t pronounce,
While I count the days with my discount ounce.

[Outro]
So here’s to the couch, and here’s to the blues,
Here’s to my kids with their big city views.
They call once a month with a quick goodbye,
But I still love ’em all—now pass the rye.
