A song from the road, with
spousal support, At 52 ...
(to the tune of Fly Too High,
from the album Night Rains)
This touring bus, so full
of stuff,
Will likely get the best
of me yet,
Before we blow a tire
If you can let me on
the wire, I'll connect,
If I treat you all like
members
It's because I DO remember
your names,
And I'll have another
cigarette
To help me with forgetting
my age
It's come too fast, five-two
high
Come too fast, five-two
high
On dark and lonely nights
We must be driving to
another encore,
Dancing and romancing
would be dandy …
But we look and don't
paw!
And if you don't believe
me
You should see me, I'm
ignoring the bore,
If I've lost my concentration
It is NOT infatuation,
be sure …
It's come too fast, five-two
high
Come too fast, five-two
high
So much past, some good
tries
Come too fast, five-two
high
Would you believe it
I once thought I had
some money,
Picked up my life
And I took what I had
to the country,
Man it was rough
To find the best we could
see
Was a no-credit limit
And a lack of TV,
Now I've brought in the
logs
Got a roomful of dogs,
and you,
And stew, Five-two high
It's come too fast, five-two
high
Come too fast, five-too
high
Come too fast, five-two
high .... |
