Thinkin' 'Bout You
It's a lovely day but I've nothing to do
Except think about me and think about you
I'd like to know what’s behind that smile
Someday soon we should sit and talk for a while
I've thought about us for quite some time
I'd like to believe that you’d like to be mine
But while I’m wondering if you care
I'm hiding what’s really there
Your eyes are telling me that you’re kind
But I'm finding it hard to say what's on my mind
It's a lovely day, not a cloud in the sky
I think about you and wonder why
Please Buy My Record
Elton John and Billy Joel don't give you no sales pitch
They don’t really need to sell their records 'cause they're already rich
But me, I've got to go and do this song and dance routine
'Cause I’m a struggling future superstar, you know what I mean
Please buy my record ... today
Please buy my record before I fade away
I ain't in the poorhouse yet but the outlook's pretty bleak
Y'know I ain't touched any solid food for almost a week
But if I could sell just one record, I could afford a Jumbo Jack
And if I could sell a couple more, then I'd get off your back
Weekend Warrior
Ice it down, stretch it out, wrap it up, gotta get ready
I'm a weekend warrior
One more game, one more day, one more swing and one more play
For the weekend warrior
I don't just play because I look so good in polyester
I do it 'cause it makes me feel alive
After working all week long, I tend to get a little stressed
But when I step out on that field, I feel all right
My wife says quit, my kids ask why, the coach says sit but I can’t lie
I'm a weekend warrior
It could be my last, never know
One game down and one to go for the weekend warrior
At my age, I should be playing golf or sleeping late
But I like to sweat and get dirty. I like to step up to the plate
Aches and pains, muscle tears, limping up and down the stairs
I'm a weekend warrior
On Monday morn, I can’t run or throw but six more days, I’ll be ready to go
I'm a weekend warrior
Middle Age Love
I was 40-something, she was something else
We had lunch down by the water, it was different I could tell
The time flew by, we said goodbye but we knew we’d meet again
(It was) middle age love
It’s strange, it’s crazy, makes you glad, makes you blue
Middle age love, you get the teenage jitters, don’t know what to do
It's wonderful, it's painful and it's all so very new
Middle age love
We spent all day at the fair, walking hand in hand
The sun went down, we hung around and listened to the band
The music flowed, I held her close, it was special, I just knew
Some things last forever, some aren't meant to be
But the next thing I knew that lovely lady was right back next to me
If you’re 16 or you’re 46, first love you don’t forget
Snow
Snow is comin', I saw it in the paper
I bought some chains and a plastic ice scraper
I looked up at the heavens and gave a sigh
'Cause y'know that I get really down and I consider leavin' town
When I see that white stuff falling from the sky
When I was a kid, I thought snow was cool
It looked so nice and closed down school
And we built snowmen out in the yard
But now that stuff has lost its thrill and snow is just a bitter pill
And one that I've been takin' pretty hard
Outside it’s snowin', the winds are a-blowin'
And all the while I'm knowin' I’ll be trapped here for days
Of all kinds of weather I think snow is such a pain
'Cause you can’t get stuck in the wind and you don’t have to shovel rain
We can seed the clouds up in the sky, beat the heat, dehumidify
But when that snow comes, our hands are tied
I admit it might have more appeal if I were a polar bear or seal
But I'm just me and I just wanna hide
I don't ski and I don't sled but I once slipped and broke my head
Walkin' in that winter wonderland
I’m gonna move someplace where it doesn't snow
Like Timbuktu or Oklahoma, Puerto Rico or maybe Japan
