A song I wrote about the bittersweet reality of aging and the remembrance of youth.
" I WAS 21 "
[Intro]
"Yeah, seems just like yesterday"
[Verse 1]
Looking back now, to when I was twenty one,
Thought I was bullet proof, always chasin' fun.
Thoughts of future wealth, having big boy toys,
Getting drunk many nights, with some good ol' boys.
[Verse 2]
Thought I was something, always a beauty by my side,
Never thought of aging, life was a wild ride.
Not a care in the world, the future was all mine,
Working for a dollar, life was goin' fine.
[Chorus]
I can't believe how fast, time passes by today,
The youthful dreams I had, they've all slipped away.
Holding onto past memories, of everything I've done,
Yeah, it seems like only yesterday... I was twenty one.
[Verse 3]
The brisk winds of time have quickly blown on by.
No more chasin' wild dreams, way too tired to try.
The young man I once was, is no longer here today,
The excitement has faded, the thrills have gone away.
[Bridge]
It's funny when we're young, we're all so wild and bold,
Not worried about life, or thoughts of growing old.
Then years pass by, reality becomes much clearer,
That youthful face now hides, behind wrinkles in the mirror.
[Outro]
I can't believe how fast, time passes by today,
The youthful dreams I had, they've all slipped away.
Holding onto past memories, of everything I've done,
Yeah, it seems like only yesterday... I was twenty one.
[Tag]
Yeah... I was twenty one.

It was nice at 21 and knowing everything . Time time does fly , before ya know it your old . Same person really, just slower .

Sorta goes back to the song I'm Only Gonna Say This Once, doesn't it Elvis? We look back to yesterday's good times, and then look at ourselves in the mirror now, and think... Geesh!A song I wrote about the bittersweet reality of aging and the remembrance of youth.

Well I avoid Mirrors like the plague , but you do look better in bath room light , No idea why . You walk outside see your self in a window reflection , My God your old . Maybe buy a 50 lb barrel fill it up with wrinkle cream. Sit in it , with a tube to breathe . The dog will think your idiot .
21 ? I forgot yesterday. I think it was an Alpha male fight over money again , it always is. The buck stops here , that worn out cliché to people . I got songs to pay for I could carless on your job , Well Don't say that . Job looks great Mrs Jones don't you agree ? I do take Zell , Oh thank you your a progressive man. Ya know I'm been in Construction since I was 21 , oh how exciting .
Don't ever say the humming bird lands on lilies to customers , Hard to split music and business . George did he say the humming bird lands on Lillies ? I think he did , -

Yes, I was 21 once - a very long time ago! I can certainly relate to this though I think age has it's advantages too. This is a lovely song which tells it how it is. The vocals standout but the instrumentation is very strong too. I enjoyed listening to this one.

I would go back to 21 in an instant . Do this all over again . Gods going to need a Camera the size of a building to play what I did on judgment day. Man you did that ? I'm afraid so . Your going to hell , Well I figured that . Does Satan validate parking ? Yes he does . Ya Know his name has always been catchier than yours . Was Satan cast out when he was 21 ? Come to think about he was . Any Chance of purgatory ? Nope. Reincarnation ? Nope . Say hi to George Carlin down there.
I might reconsider your case in 9 billion years .. -
