My Rose Colored Glasses
I find myself reminiscing, as old men do,
about the things in my life that use to be true
Back when I was driven by pure passion,
wore odd and strange clothes that I called fashion
Took every chance I could to stick it to the man
daydreamed of smoking weed while driving to Cali in a Chevy Van
After, I said a final “f-u” to my Boss
Worst case I’d seek sanctuary in the order of the Rosy Cross
Just making it through another day is a chore
Now, it is 40 yrs later and in my life it is the 4th quarter
and I will never be honored to be member of that order
and I don’t have what it takes to even the score
I will never be the MVP QB of my life, throwing game winning passes
these sad truths blind me every time I take off- My Rose Colored Glasses
