The 50's Shuffle
My alarm is screaming at me, but I can't get out of bed
I'm getting the cold shoulder, was it something that I said
I'm too young to retire, but to old to give a shit
My life was going great, until my 50's hit
My mind keeps saying yes, but my body's saying no
I really want to stay, but my bladders saying go
There's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
Nothings really bending the same way it used to do
I got a letter in the mail, "Can you send us your poo?"
I keep holding out for Aces, while life's dealing me Eights
I take my medications, but I'm still not feeling great
My kids are all grown up, they just won't move out of home
I hear the call of nomads, it's time for me to roam
And there's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
The medications that I take, keep expanding by the day
I get everything I want, I just can't have it my way
And there's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
All of life's big decisions, I am starting to regret
Do I stay and have another beer - or take a shower yet?
I used to run through the jungle, now I shuffle to the loo
Have a passed my peek, that's what I'm asking you
My mind keeps saying yes, but my body's saying no
I really want to stay, but my bladders saying go
There's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
No I just can't do the blues
You know I just can't do the blues
I'm getting the cold shoulder, was it something that I said
I'm too young to retire, but to old to give a shit
My life was going great, until my 50's hit
My mind keeps saying yes, but my body's saying no
I really want to stay, but my bladders saying go
There's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
Nothings really bending the same way it used to do
I got a letter in the mail, "Can you send us your poo?"
I keep holding out for Aces, while life's dealing me Eights
I take my medications, but I'm still not feeling great
My kids are all grown up, they just won't move out of home
I hear the call of nomads, it's time for me to roam
And there's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
The medications that I take, keep expanding by the day
I get everything I want, I just can't have it my way
And there's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
All of life's big decisions, I am starting to regret
Do I stay and have another beer - or take a shower yet?
I used to run through the jungle, now I shuffle to the loo
Have a passed my peek, that's what I'm asking you
My mind keeps saying yes, but my body's saying no
I really want to stay, but my bladders saying go
There's still so many things that I am wanting to do
But I just can't do the blues
No I just can't do the blues
You know I just can't do the blues
