5:15, #632 Old Fogey Blues

A Facebook Friend was lamenting her age and life and I decided to write this song this morning between 4-6am. The music in my head is a slow Country Western feel similar to Toby Keith and Willie Nelson doing "Beer for My Horses..."

My life is hist'ry, oh, what can I do?'
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.
I'm seein' ghosts like Old Scooby Doo..
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.

All that I've done is now in the past,
The things I've built, they're not gonna last,
My body aches, now aint it a blast?!!
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.

I'm gonna fade into obscurity.
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.
Who in the future will think about me?
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.

Oh, I've been good and I've been bad,
I've seen it all, both happy and sad,
For 60 years as man, boy and lad,
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.

I'm on the doorstep of Heaven or Hell.
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.
It tolls for me, that Eternity Bell.
I've got a case of the Old Fogey Blues.

Oh, with this life I've gotten so bored,
But not at all with Christ Jesus, my Lord.
Since on His boat I've gotten aboard.
There goes my case of the Old Fogey Blues.
There goes my case of the Old Fogey Blues.
