I Went Tonight
I went tonight
To see young punk bands
and came through the late, slushy March snow
To see the young grafiti/hip-hop artists
creating a mural across the street at the local YMCA
& my old friend
Yeah, the same age as me
old, as I've known him awhile
old, as we're both middle-aged
he's feeling a bit bored with life and it all
& I'm thinking
The vitality of the young ones are keeping me feeling young
& I'm thinking
I'd rather hang with these
than retire with my own
into their caves
into their adult responsibilities
I never eally believed it before tonight
age was just a number
a state of mind
Now, I've learned something
