A light rock tune. This is my first attempt at using BIAB as a songwriting tool. Still hard for me to get used to using this type of 'tool' and the only instrumentation I did was vocals and rhythm axe.
The band is 'me' and friends who have so generously contributed to this effort.
Story behind the song
I wrote this on the day I retired being 12/26/10 as tribute to those of us that were able to enter the retirement path. I don't have a lead axe track yet and haven't decided if I can measure up to my own expectations by doing it myself.
Lyrics
Verse 1
No obligations or daily demands.
Don’t need to hurry or make any plans.
I’m out of the trenches and gave up the grind.
Got lots of time ‘cause I’ve just retired.
Verse 2
An open agenda, I wake up with a roar.
A life of Saturday’s who could want more.
Doin’ what I want whenever I like.
Got lots of time ‘cause I’ve just retired.
Chorus
Time….to stay up late. Time….for endless coffee breaks.
Time….to sit by the fire. Got lots of time ‘cause I’ve just retired.
Verse 3
My old habits have been hard to break.
Rush off to work ‘cause I thought I was late.
I’m shakin’ my head, I must be losing my mind.
Got lots of time cause I’ve just retired.
LEAD
Chorus
Verse 2 repeat
An open agenda, I wake up with a roar.
A life of Saturday’s who could want more.
Doin’ what I want whenever I like.
Got lots of time cause I’ve just retired.
I’m out of the trenches and gave up the grind.
Got lots of time ‘cause I’ve just retired.
Chorus....vamp out on E
