Five-Oh Birthday Blues

Woke his morning, couldn't get out of bed
Couldn't believe what the calendar said
Another birthday circled in red
I got the Birthday Blues
The Five Oh Birthday Blues
Tried to fit into last year's clothes
Hurt my back when I touched my toes
I can't see too much beyond my nose
I go the Birthday Blues
The Five Oh Birthday Blues
(Chorus)
Used to be that I could play all night
Get 3 hours sleep and wake up feeling all right
That was then and how it used to be
Now I'm getting letters from the AARP
So my stride's a little slower
Can't do the lawn without a sit-down mower
Saw an old girlfriend and I didn't even know her
I got the Five Oh Blues
The Five Oh Birthday Blues
(Chorus2)
I think of all the things I used to do
At least what I remember, forgot a thing or two
Hope I got a few miles in me
'Cause there's a whole lotta world I gotta get to see
So I guess I'll roll myself right out of bed
Try to get some music inside my head
Being here is better than being dead
I'm just smilin' at those Birthday Blues
Those Five Oh Birthday Blues
(Ending)
Those Can't Believe I'm This-Oh
Next Stop is Six-Oh
Half a Century Five Oh Blues
(Five-Oh Birthday Blues)
