well howdy friends - i been away from songramp for a bit cos life got busy - but today i was rummaging around in my old CDs and i discovered an album i did in 2005 - my friend Paul had a recording studio in his living room and invited me over to do an "unplugged" album - so on March 18, 2005 i went over and did 11 of my songs in Paul's studio and he recorded me doing it - it took us most of the day, as i recall, in between beers and pee breaks lol - in any case, it was fun and i totally forgot about it till today - anyway, Paul went to great care to try to capture a good quality recording so i think i'm gonna post a song a week for the next 11 weeks, if you can stand it lol - so here's the first song on the album, and i am calling the album Dave Unplugged - keep on rockin' my friends and cheers!
shakeydave: guitar, vocal, harmonica
look at us aging hippies down by the front row
we've got our kids in tie-dye in tow
we used to think we would never get old
but we got old anyway
me im just a boy in a man's disguise
i never lost the light in these tired eyes
every day for me's a big surprise
and im never getting old
i am never getting old
i am never getting old
i may lose my hair
but i will not despair
all that glitters isnt gold
and i am never getting old
well maybe im not so young as i used to be
and maybe a few leaves have fallen from the tree
but i can still recall that melody
from so long ago
and i can still play on this here guitar
and it can still take me very far
and i can still wish upon a star
from so long ago
i am never getting old
i am never getting old
i may lose my hair
but i will not despair
all that glitters isnt gold
and i am never getting old
