Lyrics
I WOKE UP AFTER 35 YEARS
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME
AND JUST SIGNED MY FIRST DEAL
MY VERY FIRST CONTRACT
NO IT DIDN’T SEEM REAL
BUT ON MY WAY HOME
I HAD A HORRIBLE CRASH
I WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
IN MY CAR THAT WAS SMASHED
WHEN I FIN A LLY AWOKE
IT WAS TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN
I WAS LAYIN IN THIS BED
THOUGHT I WAS MAYBE IN HEAVEN
WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE MIRROR
COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW
IT WAS SOME GRAY HAIRED OLD MAN
I NEVER SAW BEFORE
WE’RE BARRY & THE BOOMERS
AND WE’RE COMIN TO PLAY
WE MAY LOOK A LITTLE OLD
BUT WE GOT SOMETHIN TO SAY
WE’RE BARRY & THE BOOMERS
I WAS SIXTY YEARS OLD
AND HAD NO FAM I LY ALIVE
THERE WAS NO ONE THERE FOR ME
NEEDED HELP TO SURVIVE
DIDN’T HAVE ANY MONEY
DIDN’T HAVE ANY SKILLS
EXCEPT FOR WRITING SONGS
THAT WASN’T PAYIN THE BILLS
SO I SIGNED UP FOR FOOD STAMPS
AND I GOT ON MED I CAID
I FOUND AN APARTMENT
AND THE GOVERNMENT PAID
NOW ALL THAT I NEEDED
WAS A JOB AND SOME DREAMS
STARTED WRITING SONGS
COMING UP WITH NEW SCHEMES
(CHORUS)
SO I PLACED A COOL AD
AND I WAITED TO HEAR
LOOKIN FOR SOME BOOMERS
WHO COULD PLAY AND HAD GEAR
SO ONE BY ONE
MY NEW BAND ARRIVED
SOME IN USING WALKERS
AND SOME LOOKED LIKE THEY DIED
BUT THEY PROVED THEY COULD PLAY
ALTHOUGH SOME HAD SOME RUST
WE BECAME A GREAT ROCK BAND
WITH A LOT OF TRUST
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM
CAN FLAT OUT PLAY
YES WE’RE BARRY & THE BOOMERS
