lyrics

I've gone delinquent, don't know the way back, worked too hard for too long, still don't get the crack.
Found me a new beau, he's a honeybee for me.
He's a big tall handsome man, loving as can be.
Don't know what the future holds, maybe 50 ain't so old, I've gone delinquent.

I've gone delinquent, don't know the way back.
Interfering with my drinking, had enough of that.
On the straight and narrow and a good girl all these years, I did not see this coming but was bound to end in tears.
Don't know what the future holds, maybe 50 ain't so old, I've gone delinquent.

I've gone delinquent, don't know who to tell.
Nobody can say to me just what the bleeding hell...
Head just sings these tunes at me, don't want it to desist, there's madness in the maker whose spell I can't resist.
Don't know what the future holds, maybe 50 ain't so old.

I'm gone delinquent, ain't no going back.
It's a complete derailment. My wheels are off the track.
Chin turned up toward the sky though, only way to be,
A flower's final flower, and in good company.
Don't know what the future holds, maybe 50 ain't so old, I'm gone delinquent.
