lyrics

I was born in a time before they passed out silver spoons
No they don’t just grow off of trees
Pass the turkey and the stuffing and the gravy if you'd please
Try the pie made by your Aunt June

Why do I feel like I’m dying inside
Why do I feel like I’m dying inside
I am afraid of the shifting of time
I am afraid of the shifting of time

Used to be captain of the team
Look in the mirror all I see
Hidden under my waistline
I am the idiot god of a two car garage
The idiot god of a ten acre yard

Just bought a new hot tub for me and your Aunt June
Things been cold between us since our kids went off to school

Why do I feel like I’m dying inside
Why do I feel like I’m dying inside
I am afraid of the shifting of time
I am afraid of the shifting of time

I am the king of a silent keep
Look in the mirror all I see
Is my ever expanding waistline
I am the idiot god of a two car garage
The idiot god of a ten acre yard

I try to talk to my wife I think she lies to me
I try to talk to my kids they stay away from me
I try to watch the TV I think it lies to me
I try to read the paper I think it lies to me
I am old and alone I think it’s plain to see
My doctor says to lose weight I think she lies to me
I am old and alone
I am old and alone and no one ever talks to me
