lyrics

I was walking down a road to nowhere
With little time to stop along the way
By the sun the people passed me by
By the night I would be ready to play
How can I say, dear, that I am mine?
My thoughts are clouded in a bottle of wine
Suspended in thought trapped inside of my cage,
I sing the anthem of my age

I sat alone upon a dirty sofa
Southern Comfort filled up half my glass
She was a dancer that my sights were set on
I made myself believe I had the class
I said hello and then she walked away
Back to the bottle drank my mind astray
I asked every wise man and asked every sage
I sing the anthem of my age

I try my best to stop and look both ways
I can’t keep myself from being hit
Why is it that every ray of sunlight
Often gets followed by a rain of shit
Even the strength of the magnetic poles
Is not enough to guide me from these holes
Striving to find out what’s on the next page
I sing the anthem of my age

I figure now that when it comes to the long run
Life is difficult to understand
Every road leads me back to square one
I’ve got time within the palm of my hand
Yet time is whisked away into the breeze
While I lie under this willow tree
The sails roaring by the whole world is my stage
I sing the anthem of my age
I sing the anthem of my age
