Obviously this isnt about me because I am extremely exciting. This is a mostly acoustic thing I made up literally in 5 or 10 minutes sitting on my couch, (not 5 or 10 minutes to make the actual recording. Recording is more tedious than trying to list

Just getting back into this after a long hiatus. I purchased a used Korg d16 - 16 track recorder around the Fall of 2009 for $ 100.00 and I haven't touched a recorder in nearly 25 years. That was in the 1980's with a Tascam Porta 01-4 track. Things have come a long ways. The guitars and music equipment came out of a long hibernation soon after.

Lyrics
When I was a young man I never thought I would get old I followed my own plan Never did as I was told When I lost my way I asked the man which way to go He pointed down the highway To the middle of the road He said its opened everyday and night Just between the left and the right When you take the highway You can take it high or low I take it my way Its the middle of the road So I followed the highway To the other end of town A wedding came my way I thought I'd settle down "Spend, spend, spend" she said "Our cash will never end" The bottom dropped out instead Now shes not my friend Nothing extravagant for me Keep your double almond mocha, keep your Black Mountain Tea Keep your caviar but not my double bacon cheese If its good enough for Bill and Whimpy Its good enough for me Im not going forward Im not falling behind Suspended animation Im just frozen in time Some highways are high roads Others lie low I take it my way Its the middle of the road So I sold my fancy cars Sold my leer jet Cashed in my gold bars Gave away my exotic pets Tigers are no fun And flying is for the birds I would much rather run Than drive something absurd The life I live is pay as you go No refinanced highway, no 2nd mortgage road You can take the highway Take it high or low I take it my way Its the middle of the road
