lyrics

They say you give a mouse a cookie
and he'll ask you for milk
I say, "A little milk and cookies never
got nobody killed"
but too much of any good thing
Can often turn out bad
maybe it just depends on how much
cookies and milk you have

If you wanna have a good time, baby
you gotta take it slow and easy
there ain't no finish line and no first place trophies
ain't no winners here and no worries
we got the rest of our lives to get through it
and so many ways to abuse it

Now back in my drinking days
of which, I'm not to proud
me and my friend, John
would have the intention of blacking out
and although I have been sober now
for several years
I'm still envious of those of you
who can stop at just three beers

If you wanna have a good time baby
you gotta take it slow and easy
there ain't no finish lines and no first place trophies
ain't no winners here and no worries
we got the rest of our lives to get through it
and so many ways to abuse it

as for my personal opinion
there's nothing wrong with getting high
until it becomes the only way
that you identify
for example if you got excited just now
at the first mention of weed
and for that you completely miss the point
of the rest of the song I sing

if you wanna have a good time baby
you gotta take it slow and easy
there ain't no finish line and no first place trophies
ain't no winners here and no worries
we got the rest of our lives to get through it
and so many ways to abuse it
