Free Pour |
On the shy side of forty |
In the land of free pour |
Nobody’s writing, there’s nobody left |
Order a beer, let’s have a drink to my death |
Is there nobody else coming? |
Have you got any friends? |
Pulled up a seat and took off my hat |
Took a drink and sucked another one back |
Ordered again and said |
Baby, I’m on the shy of forty |
Still writing riffs like nobody’s business |
Except in my case it most certainly is |
I’m a professional riff writer |
Slinger of pure metaphor |
I named my band and couple of stands I commanded |
Even TM’d on a gaggle of tours |
Then she laughed, I said |
Maybe you have no reason to know me |
I don’t care, I ain’t keeping score |
Nobody’s faith here you need to restore |
I’m on the shy side of forty |
I’m on the shy side of forty |
Is that a reason to love me? |
I like your jacket, you hardly tip |
I like your smile, but I have to admit |
I have never heard your body of music of before |
I act surprised, turned on Spotify, it isn’t there |
Some copyright territorial rift |
Will you just take me at my word? |
Nothing less nothing more |
Out of my mind, I’m down on the floor |
All out of time but I’m begging for more |
I’m on the shy side of forty |
Is that a reason to love me? |
I had a dream of my old school high school |
There was nobody left |
Just that old janitor Russel Avery Smith |
My old girl, my first love, my first kiss |
I caught them fucking in basement |
The type of place it would happen |
The kind of thing at this type of event |
You’d never believe but kind of always suspect |
But it was kind of romantic |
It had its own inner logic |
They asked me why, and how I got in |
I could not emit the sound to tell them |
It was our twenty year reunion |
I got the email, I went |
Russel was kind, he was good to his kids |
Maybe I always underestimated |
Everybody else around me |
We gotta make our own beauty |
Time and time we have to find it again |
When we die, do we start over again? |
Back at the shy side of forty |
At the shy side of forty |
Time and time we have to find it again |
At the shy side of forty |
When we die, do we start over again? |
At the shy side of forty |
Time and time we have to find it again |
When we die, do we start over again? |
Back at the shy side of forty |
At the shy side of forty |
