Old and Boring

When I was 22 in -99 and feeling blue
Didn't know what to do
Only had that one tattoo
Picked up my friend's credit card,
Got that brand new sweet guitar and flew

Arrived at LAX, far from rain and a bitter ex
Not such a big success, we played for ten or maybe less
Still the songs stuck in my head, brought my nightcap straight to bed with you.

Imagine how it could have been.

Sending love across the waters.
Hard to stay apart, need one more, is this the end for us?
Kinda hoped that this would be eternal.
Last time I saw you, was in Wall Street Journal.
Never ending happy endings.
Going home alone, this is just another song
Look at me, I´m telling myself stories.
Oh, I guess that we're just old and boring now.

Fast forward 41, still remember how much fun.
Back when it all begun, it surely felt like such a run.
Big applause in Little Rock, Stillwater and Stoli shock
And California sun.
Still missing Ocean Beach, the next big tour seems outta reach.
I'm down here on my knees, I try to practice what I preach
Still I'm playing my guitar, the kids have been put safely into sleep.

Imagine what it could have been

I can still remember every night
You stood up and saved me from that fight
Dancing on the rooftop of our van in Chicago
After our worst show, all these memories
Hard to let go
