This song started out with a funky groove and I thought it would be cool to write words about the aging process in an upbeat way, and about the discovery that I'm slowly progressing out of the mainstream.

I can’t go home

Verse
Everyone is seeing the change that’s coming all around me.
Life has got to slow down and come and find me.
Time’s not yet in my way
as long as I’ve got something to say.
Trying to be me- baby.
Got to be free- baby.

Chorus
Feelin like its been a long time.
Its just a memory in my mind.
The people and the places have changed and I can’t go home.
Feelin alone.

Verse
Now that I’m doing OK I’ve got a funny little feeling.
The girls don’t look at me the same way and I’m not dealin.
With circumstances as they might be
and still feeling like an old tree in this fast world-baby.
Get some rest-baby.

Chorus
Feelin like its been a long time
Its just a memory in my mind.
The people and the places have changed and I can’t go home.
Still feelin alone.

Solo

Pre-hook
Someone has got to rescue me
before I become an old tree
in this fast world- baby
get some rest-baby
Young people get in my way
all they can really say
is be your best-baby
You know what to do.


Chorus
Feelin like its been a long time
Its just a memory in my mind.
The people and the places have changed and I can’t go home.
I’m feelin alone
