In the spirit of keeping my lyrics uplifting I wrote this song about my current stage of life.
‹ Lyrics
Verse
Some mornings I have trouble getting out of bed
The beds not the trouble
Could be the wine last night went to my head
The wine is the trouble
Other times it’s the fallout of being my age
The age is the trouble
A trajectory and not just a passing phase
The phase ain’t the trouble
Verse
If the morning coffee pot refuses to perk
The pot is the trouble
Thank the stars I’m retired, I don’t have to work
The work was the trouble
I can drive to the coffee hut and queue up in line
The queue can be trouble
The perfect medication for my late night drinkin’ wine
The wine was the trouble
Chorus
There’s so many troubles of our time
I only have focus just for mine
Verse
Today’s appointment on my calendar
The calendar’s the trouble
Shows I need to go in to see my doctor
The doctor’s not the trouble
Getting on the scale time to weigh me
The scale is the trouble
I know this time Ozempic will not save me
Osempic could be trouble
Verse
My body has a million things that can go wrong
But my body’s not the trouble
I work real hard to keep the big parts well and strong
The small one’s aren’t the trouble
The Doc reminds me if there’s any doubt
The doubting can be trouble
Garbage in, and garbage out
Garbage is the trouble
Chorus
There’s so many troubles of our time
I only have focus just for mine
Verse
You just can’t study for those medical tests
The tests are the trouble
Trust me, I always do my best
My best can be trouble
Those test results, they won’t be in for days
Results may be trouble
I can’t worry about what they might say
Worry could be trouble
Verse
Tomorrow brings another chance
The chance is never trouble
To have some fun and join the dance
The dance is never trouble
Armed with hands and heart open wide
Heart is not the trouble
Untroubled by the troubles of the time
Let go of the trouble
Chorus
There’s so many troubles of our time
I only have focus just for mine
Let Go of the Trouble
Untroubled by the Troubles of our time
