Old man’s blues

August 19, 2012 by badtux99

Darrell Scott is only a few years older than me. Both of us been thinking about the fact we ain’t as young as we used to be, I guess. Your back hurts, your joints hurt, you can’t move as fast as you used to, you can’t see worth a damn unless things are at just the right distance ’cause your eyes don’t focus worth a damn, getting older sucks… but there’s still a damn sight more left in front of me. So it goes.

This is “Still Got A Ways To Go” off his 2012 album Long Ride Home. Except I ain’t got no home. Oh wait, that’s another song.
