about

A country song about getting older. Ish

lyrics

Cry, cry again

There was a time I had artist's hands
Baby smooth with ideas, dreams and plans
Now scarred and callous from life's demands
But there was a time I had artist's hands

These days they're just tools I'm using for the man

There was a time when I used to read
Science fiction, the bible, or fantasy
Manuals, anything you'd put in front of me
Yes, there was a time when I used to read

These days I just sit and stare at this little screen

Getting older and wiser and I've learned
stars keep getting brighter as they burn

There was a time when it didn't hurt
Doing the normal things that you do at work
My back, my knees my eyes are all inert
Yet there was a time when it didn't hurt

These days I'm hoping for time served

Getting older and wiser and I've learned
stars keep getting brighter as they burn

Getting older and wiser and I've learned
stars keep getting brighter as they burn

And I'm burning out
