Ninety-Seven Days Old
Been playing this thing and it sounds good to me, 95, 96, 97 days old
I’ve learned a song or two and it sounds good to me, 95, 96, 97 days old
Sound good to me, sound good to me, 95, 96, 97 days old
I wrote a song or two and they sound good to me, 95, 96, 97 days old
I played a song for you, sound good to you, 95, 96, 97 days old
Sound good to you, sound good to you, 95, 96, 97 days old
Still playing for you 95, 96, 97 days old

NOt Doin' Too Good
I’m really not doin’ too good, I feel I’m misunderstood, I’m really not doin’ too hot, I’d just like to get from this spot, pick me up , moooove me, toss me into the river, maybe that’ll shooooow me this moment’s just a passin’ sliver, like a movie, the slides are just clickin’ by
I’m really not doin’ too swell, I feel that I am man that fell, I’m really not all myself, I feel I’m just a book on shelf, pick me up, open me, read me ‘till I’m done, maybe that’ll show me this moment’s just a loss then won, like a race, he miles are just clickin’ by
I’m really no doin’ too fine, I feel drained of my divine, I’m really not up to speed, the world is movin’ beyond mepick me up, mooove me, toss me into the river, maybe that’ll show me this moment’s just a passin’ sliver, like a river floating by
Paddlin’ upstream, getting’ washed down, writin’ in a stream, runnin’ out of ink, forget my line, take seventeen, fell on my face, can’t see the finish line
