    Default Baby Boomer Blues

    They call me baby boomer
    But I look in the mirror
    And see everything
    In the world but a baby

    I see a senior dude
    With a decade to go
    My daddy went at 79
    I'm sure I'll follow

    Baby Boomer Blues
    From my bald head
    To my tennis shoes
    I'd still be 30 if I could choose
    Baby Boomer Blues
    Never thought I'd lose
    I was the young one
    Now I sit on a couch and snooze

    I miss Annette Funicello
    And of course Howdy Doody
    I still play Little Richard
    Singing Tutti Frutti

    I miss Brigitte Bardot
    My first love at 10
    I know I'll never feel
    That good again

    Baby Boomer Blues
    From my bald head
    To my tennis shoes
    I'd still be 30 if I could choose
    Baby Boomer Blues
    Never thought I'd lose
    I was the young one
    Now I sit on a couch and snooze

    I'm too old for women
    Too old for booze

    Solo
    Chorus

    Yeah, I would turn the clock back if I could, but I don't know how.

    Gr8 your "Age Crisis" hit you in the face that late. For some it starts when they pass the 20 line and call themselves "old"
