Mid-life crisis wrapped into a tidy, self-deprecating package. But you have to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes, right? This is kind of an alt/rock ballad. The album takes a mellow turn here so if the first half is too much for you, trying mellowing out to this song and the second half. (Special thanks to Erik Holsinger for the keys on this one; Stacia and Ceilidh for the backup vocals)

Lyrics

Mid-Life Blues
Got the best of me
I can’t see my shoes
Is this my mid-life ruse?

I’m not the same as yesterday
But I can’t runaway
And I can’t come out and play
‘Cause I hurt my back today

I used to be thin
Now I’m just round
I used to workout
Now I drink beer by the pound

Hair turning gray
So should I let it stay?
Or dye like everyone else?
Or rip it out of my head?

Rock & roll can save your soul
But it sure won’t keep you young
Rack my brain for a few short words
But the muse is on the run

My kids want my cash
My wife just wants change
The dog peed on the floor
Should I take meds to ease my brain?

Mid-Life Blues
Got the best of me
