Greatest Generation

My arms are tired,
been carrying this guitar all day
My feet are sore,
been walking for quite a ways
But I know what I have to do
I have to sing my song for you
I mostly know you from the Christmas and the Birthday cards
Your perfect cursive wishing me well
I understand it’s partly distance, partly circumstance
That I don’t know all the stories that you have to tell
My arms are tired,
been carrying this guitar all day
My feet are sore,
been walking for quite a ways
But I know what I have to do
I have to sing my song for you
You played your keyboard at the old folks homes
and most of the audience was younger than you
you always liked to say that music kept you young
I hope I live to be at least 97 too
My arms are tired,
been carrying this guitar all day
My feet are sore,
been walking for quite a ways
But I know what I have to do
I have to sing my song for you
The last time I saw you, I sang you my songs
You closed your eyes and bobbed your head
and even sang along
You were a member of the Greatest Generation
And even though you are gone
I still look to you for inspiration
My arms are tired,
been carrying this guitar all day
My feet are sore,
been walking for quite a ways
But I know what I have to do
I have to sing my song for you

You Make Me

You make my skin itch
I can’t stand your breath across my cheek
You make me weak
You make me weak
You make me weak
You make my days dark
I’m not sure I’ll see the sun again
too mean a friend
too mean a friend
too mean a friend
You’re so cold and unfeeling
Blind to all the pain you are dealing
You make my feet numb
Then you steal my sense of solid ground
You knock me down
You knock me down
You knock me down
You make my lips crack
and you even make them bleed sometimes
too cruel a crime
too cruel a crime
too cruel a crime
I can’t escape you, you’re everywhere I turn
But you don’t notice me or care
You’re so cold and unfeeling
Blind to all the pain you are dealing
You make my skin itch
I can’t stand your breath across my cheek
You make my days dark
I’m not sure I’ll see the sun again
You make my feet numb
Then you steal my sense of solid ground
You make my lips crack
and you even make them bleed sometimes
I can’t escape you, you’re everywhere I turn
But you don’t notice me or care
You’re so cold and unfeeling
Blind to all the pain you are dealing
You make my skin itch
You make my days dark
You make my feet numb
You make my lips crack
You make my skin itch
You make my days dark
You make my feet numb
You make my lips crack
