Me too

Me Too Different days and different times, changing ways and changing chimes Tunes unfamiliar to your ears, so much was lost over the years As a young man with your hair slicked back Cruising the open air astride your Indian kicking it back The roads spilled into years now past Did you ever wonder how long it would last? You know, it always seemed like the right thing to do Did you ever feel like it all went upside down? Me too The baby, the caboose, the wild child always lets it loose Older siblings married with kids, your situation varied it did Day came you were married suddenly three- then five and six No more open skies, hey! No more jump and jive get your kicks Working on the American dream as they turned the screw Lost your wife, stumbled some and acted the clown. Me too I’m the baby, been in love and lost my heart; it burned to ashes Broke some more after the fall; curse me, whip me fifty lashes I know the pain; I know the way to make it all just go away. I do Did you ever feel like it all went upside down? Me too But today I say goodbye, leaving bad days turn to dust The memories of a knowing grin, eyes you could always trust I see a shiny Cadillac; chrome tipped fins on the back A dashing young man in a sport coat looking sharp as a tack Laughing and sharing a beer with your big brother Jack When it came to spreading cheer, you boys had the knack You know, it always seemed like the right thing to do Did you ever feel like it all went upside down? Me too Did you ever wish that one day it could all come back? Me too Tim Windisch 8/7/2014
