The Aftermath

Words and Music by Bob Seger and Craig Frost

 

Dressed up to the nines

Dancin' three-quarter time

The champagne is on ice

No one's gonna guess

In your brand new dress

Girl, you sure look nice

 

Have a good time

Honey, don't look back

Stone in the middle of the aftermath

 

Don't wink, don't blink

Don't let `em think

His leavin's got you down

Stand straight, hang tough

When they bring it up

Baby hold your ground

 

If they pry, don't sigh

Pass it off with a laugh

It's all part of living through the aftermath

 

You can do it honey

Keep that smile so sunny

You can show them what they want to see

Yes, you can

 

It's a cold, hard scene

The singles thing

Losers everywhere

And it hurts to the bone

Headin' home alone

When someone used to be there

 

So you take a few falls

And you learn to bounce back

It's all part of living through the aftermath

 

Living through the aftermath

Baby, don't look back

It's the aftermath
