Mid-life Crisis Male Menopause Blues
Well when you get to 50, you re-evaluate what's important - wife? kids? grandkids? NAH - guitars are important, who knows how much longer you've got left to play before arthritis and Alzheimers set in? Ummmm - where was I? Oh yeah.....
Acoustic Rock music
At the moment the band is me on vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and harmonica......
Story behind the song
A thread on www.Guitarnoise.com....I came up with the title, Blueline wrote most of the lyrics - Chris C gets a co-author's credit for suggestions.....
Lyrics
Mid-life Crisis Male Menopause Blues.....
When you're way past your peak and it's all downhill,
And you're wondering what to do, 'cause you need a new thrill,
Maybe get a fast bike, re-live your wild youth,
Though your salad days are long gone, ain't that the truth,
When all the sweet things are taken, and you can't pick and choose,
You got those mid-life crisis, male menopause blues.....
When you're feelin' worn down, too many cares on your shoulders,
You thought you'd get wiser, but you just got older,
And your woman says, you need to lose a few pounds,]
So you head off to the bar for a couple of rounds,
You can't play your guitar, 'cause your fingers ain't loose,
You got those mid-life crisis, male menopause blues......
Now the years are flowing by and you got nothing to show,
The world's spinning faster, but you're moving too slow,
Your kid didn't ask you, just borrowed your keys,
So you run down the street, you're beginning to wheeze,
Pick yourself up and stare at the bruise,
You got those mid-life crisis, male menopause blues.
