Read It and Weep
Golden Oldie
The kids have all grown and moved out on their own
I can now be a senior with ease
But as I get older, unburden my shoulders
the help I once gave I now need
What has happened to me? I flaunt apathy
I'm becoming my parents I fear
I've ditched rock and roll for the daily news show
and prefer jasmine tea to a beer
A concert for me, well, used to be
A summer of fun at Red Rocks
And now my idea of fun for a night
is taking my dog for a walk
I can now be a senior with ease
But as I get older, unburden my shoulders
the help I once gave I now need
What has happened to me? I flaunt apathy
I'm becoming my parents I fear
I've ditched rock and roll for the daily news show
and prefer jasmine tea to a beer
A concert for me, well, used to be
A summer of fun at Red Rocks
And now my idea of fun for a night
is taking my dog for a walk
