I Was Hip; But I Doubt I Understood
A lot of people I use to know are gone now; and Roe;
Her brother went three days later; and it rocked me hard;
He was only three years older than I am.
So I suppose it follows that I wish I still knew you.
Too many improprieties and apparently I’ve gotten stupid;
Trying to make things happen; as if maybe I had an inside track.
I tried not to let it go like that; but that’s where it went.
I thought I knew what I was doing; but I guess not.
I use to dance hard, run fast and now;
There’s no one left that I use to know
I couldn’t quit; too hip; and armed with Teflon;
Life left me wanting; in a place with so little in which to sustain
