From the recording Out in the Country
A song full of scenarios we may all relate with....a stiff back, sore knees...you name it...but endured in the unconditional company of a loved one.
Lyrics
Once I was an age I would awake with no aches, no stiff neck or back, got blood flowin’ easy, I’d hike a trail for days, take a jog or a skate, stayed up late, life was great, simple and breezy, well I’ve shifted down my gears now in my middle years, but I’ll survive cause in my stride, you’re right here with me, we used to wake daybreak, and skip the rolling waves, but nowadays our glory days are fading quickly
It seems our normal ways are tougher every day, but every cloud we’ll weather, we’re gonna have each other, as we get old and gray, however long it plays...
Let’s fall apart...together
It takes a lot these days to even go walkin’, I wake up in a cramp just from a full day of gardenin’
Matabolism’s lower, but we get up and get going
A pill for this, a rub for that, to mask all the groaning
Able was I ere I saw Elba in a dream, a glimpse of life gone by, every ailment God could bring, but Elba had her Edward, and Edward had her true, so life is the song I’ll write with you
Now where’d I put my glasses, and where’d I leave the keys, let’s stay in after dinner, and check the lotto winner, you need to take anti-acid, I pop my CBD, we call a chiropractor just for beltin’ out a sneeze
