Golden Oldie

The kids have all grown and moved out on their own I can now be a senior with ease But as I get older, unburden my shoulders the help I once gave I now need What has happened to me? I flaunt apathy I’m becoming my parents I fear I’ve ditched rock and roll for the daily news show and prefer jasmine tea to a beer A concert for me, well, used to be A summer of fun at Red Rocks And now my idea of fun for a night is taking my dog for a walk
