I looked this topic up and the thread was closed to replies. I thought to reinstate the thread and might have a chance for posting on a new thread with this new board. 

Any song about being old, getting old or youth is wasted (lol). Have fun!

Hello In There - John Prine

 

Sad song about the loneliness of aging and memories.

OH, I will probably never know if I repeat any songs. Too hard to find stuff, to scroll to find stuff and I can’t remember stuff anyhoo. lol

SONG - “I Don’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair” by George Jones.

This Grammy-nominated country tune from 1992 was the Possum at his spunkiest. He declared that his body was old but ain’t impaired … so you can keep that rockin’ chair. You can also keep your Geritol, Medicare, and forget about retirement.

Of course, you can only hide from old age and the Grim Reaper for so long. Death eventually caught up with ole’ George in 2013; the legendary country star died at the age of 81.

Darling Be Home Soon: Spoonful  (And now a quarter of my life is almost past/I think I’ve come to see myself at last/And I see that the time spent confused/Was the time that I spent without you)   As he gets older he’s becoming more mature, more self-reflective; a healthy side of the growing older process.

When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill)
