The leaves will change, just like me The sky will gray, just like me The winds will slow down, just like me There's cracks in the ground, just like me I'm just a passerby And we're all on this road to die So I guess I'll make the best of it and see Now the people can't seem to understand That we're nothing really more than grains of sand In the hourglass, until the end The sun will drop west, just like me The ocean waves will crest, just like me The roots will grow thin, just like me The season will end, just like me I'm just a passerby And we're all on this road to die So I guess I'll make the best of it and see Now the people can't seem to understand That we're nothing really more than grains of sand In the hourglass, until the end The river still flows, just like me It's unstoppable, just like me The kids will grow, just like me One day they will be just like me I'm just a passerby And we're all on this road to die So I guess I'll make the best of it and see Now the people can't seem to understand That we're nothing really more than grains of sand In the hourglass, until the end

when i fell out to the world into my mothers arms brightness was ahead of me I was called the lion's son when i was just a little boy clumsy as I was bound for greatness one day yes I was when I was young i had some fun I made two black holes and I jumped into one yes I fell on my face before now those dreams they are no more I should have been a pastors son shaking hands with everyone I've seen some come and I've seen some die I've had lovers come then wave goodbye Now I've grown up a restless heart and a dead end job I'll never be the same as I was Long long gone are the days of young Still I think that good days may come even though my life may be half gone when i fell out into my mothers arms brightness was ahead of me I was called the lion's son

one day they're gonna leave one day they're gonna go One day I gonna see as they walk right that door Thank you dad, I loved you so Thank you dad, I'll let you know when I'm coming home and then I'll see them out the door One day I'm gonna need I'm gonna need them more One day I guess they'll see that I'm not me no more…. Thank you dad, I loved you so Thank you dad, I'll let you know when I'm coming home and then I'll see them out the door right out that door walk right out that door I'll never love them more

Sam said, "Jones, what keeps you so damn skinny?" Jones said, "well, I only drink red wine" Sam thought, "it's the stupid rules'll kill me If I ever cross the starting line" Sam said, "don't go starting any big jobs The Canon guy'll be here in a few Don't it drive you crazy how they never seem to know Exactly when they think they'll get to you." We could wait here for an hour, we could wait here over night We could wait until them Germans strike again It's the thing that drives me crazy what makes my ulcers bleed It's what'll put me in the loony bin Waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend Sam said, "god, I'm feeling like a cooked goose Getting old is nothing but a scam" Jones just rolled his eyes, shook his head, and walked away Cause Jones had fifteen years on poor old Sam Jones felt round the holes inside his pocket Wondered if he's ever getting paid Sam was late with checks again, Johnny wants his vig Every Friday's like a hand grenade We could wait here for an hour, we could wait here over night We could wait until them Germans strike again It's the thing that drives me crazy what makes my ulcers bleed It's what'll put me in the loony bin waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend Sara's got that cancer in her liver But they're all saying everything is good But Jones was thinking maybe they should take that trip to Rome If he could find the cash, they surely would Been 40 years together, sometimes he don't even know Exactly how she feels about him now He supposes someday soon she'll get around to say it Soon as she can figure out just how We could wait here for an hour, we could wait here over night We could wait until them Germans strike again It's the thing that drives me crazy what makes my ulcers bleed It's what'll put me in the loony bin waiting on a friend, waiting on a friend

No matter what ya do, it'll never stay the same I'm just glad to be around to watch it change My advice to you better live for every day I'm just glad to be around To watch it change Seasons pass, from rain to snow Pants get shorter as little people grow Doesn't see so long ago My biggest worry was me Time keeps marching double speed Garden music plants the seed Playing Legos ride to school Trying hard pretending to be cool Kids to parents learn to share Now it's our turn to care Long hair turning gray, I need A beer and time to breathe Traded freedom for unconditional Wouldn't trade it for anywhere Found that people are more Important Than getting there

they’re coming to visit again my son and his son and his son and three generations will sit beside me just to get a picture made my baby I held every day and then college took him away and i waited for the holidays just to get a picture made photographs all over my wall shoe boxes fill up the hall my collection is almost complete so come and take your picture with me at his wedding I cried out of love my family was starting to grow and I stood there with him holding hands and we got a picture made and the baby was named after me and they brought him over to see I held him and smiled so big just to get a picture made photographs all over my wall shoe boxes fill up the hall my collection is almost complete so come and take your picture with me his baby now has babies too with 4 generations to view they’re coming to see today just to get a picture made his grandkids are starting to grow and they’ll fill up homes of their own they’ll be happy to sit beside him long after i’m gone just to get a picture made they’re coming to visit again it’s been a year since I have seen them and three generations will sit beside me just to get a picture made

“Done” Started singing "swinging" on a stool at Simmons store People gave me quarters, so I'd keep coming back for more Lying in my bedroom with my finger on record Waiting for my jam after the ads for super stores Borrowed my mamas mower so I could mow some yards started saving dollars with the quarters in the jar soon I had my hands on one of them electric guitars fingers trying hard to build a repertoire Didn't take too long and I was playing in a band power chords and bar room floors make the best of friends never thought that it could come ever to an end but I was young and when it did I started again Weeks started passing like days did a long time ago with new seeds planted in sunshine beginning to grow things came together the way that water likes to flow had one of the best times of my life down at the Lawrence Joel. Months start passing like weeks once did when I was a kid hangovers linger longer like pain embodied Circumstances change as the years place their bids sometimes simply someone can't control their id let's just say I've started to play anything under the sun I can handle just for some dollars to put in the get-out-of-debt fund passion will always have me playing for my one in a million In spite of age I'll always be a dreamer until the day I'm done

about

Anand's got the assignment this week, and it's meaty:

"Getting Old... like it or not, there's nothing we can do. I'm at my parents house this week, with my crew, and it's nice to have everyone together. Being in my old house, it's very emotional for me to see how the kids are growing up, I'm feeling old, and the parents (and dog Buddy) are definitely getting up there! After our math assignment from last week (which I failed) I wanted to give everyone the chance to write a heartfelt song about what it means to you, this process of getting older. Could be from your point of view - positive, negative, or told from the point of view of someone else altogether. Style-wise open."
