A young rocker meets his match at a Senior Center Singles Dance.
New country songs from Maine songwriter Mike Nobel
Story behind the song
As "Baby Boomers" join the ranks of "Senior Citizens", it's important to remember that the BEST of life, love, and (really!) good times can be ours to enjoy in our golden years. In this song, a young rocker with "attitude" learns this lesson in an exciting (and exhausting!) way.

THOSE OLD TIME LOVERS
c p 2008 (music, lyrics, vocals) by Mike Nobel, Gorham, Maine
(Sample Lyrics) ....
Well the old guy who ran the show, he
Spun around, and he hollered, "Yo!,
Young fella, who're you tryin' to coddle!?
Now lemme lay it in your lap, son
We're not here to take a nap!
Turn up that amp, and
Open up that throttle!"
I said, "you mean!?', he said, "that's right!,
Look at me, I'm still alive! and
So's the rest of these here 'retirees'.
"I'll make a bet, here's my hand,
That you can't wear us out, my friend, now
GET ON DOWN, it's time to BOOGIE!" . . . .
