I woke up this morning, August 3rd
                                        C
It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer

Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe
                                        Dm
Went to New Orleans and went to see my family
                                
Woke up this morning and it occurred
                                         C
I needed one more track to finish up my record
                                   
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired
                                                   Am
Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired
                                      
Met my girl and we walked down Union Street
                     C
I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places
                           Em
Bought a $350 pair of lampshades
               G                     Dm       F   F

                                                 C
I said I can't explain it and it's a middle age thing

And called my father, talked a little bit with my sister
                                        
She's got a new boyfriend, he's a deer hunter

Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst 

Trying to park and getting up the hill 
                                                         Dm
And find a spot amongst the drunk kids staring at their cells

Standing at the back with the crowd of eight thousand
                                   C
I thought of Ben when I met him in 2000

At a festival in Spain
                                                      Am
He was on the small stage then and I didn't know his name
                                                G
Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves
                  C                       F
And my legs were hurting and my feet were too
                               C                    Em
I called him after, said I'll skip the backstage hi/bye

But thanks for the nice music and all the exercise

There's a fine line between a middle-aged guy with a backstage pass
                                            C
And a guy with a gut hanging around like a jackass
                                  
Everybody there was twenty years younger than me
                                      Dm
I'll leave with this, not my fondest memory
                  
I carried my legs back down and then I gave
                                C
My backstage passes to two cute asian girls

I drove to my place near Tahoe
                                                    Dm
Got in my hot tub and I thought well that's how it goes

And it was quiet and I was listening to the crickets

And Ben's still out there, selling lots of tickets
      C
And though I’m contented, there’s a tinge of competitiveness
                                       
But Ben's my friend and I know he gets it

Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed
 G                                     C
Back to the studio doing twelve hours shifts
                                      
Singing a song about one thing or another

I drove to my place near Tahoe
                                                    Em
Got in my hot tub and I thought well that's how it goes

And it was quiet and I was listening to the crickets

And Ben's still out there, selling lots of tickets
      D
And though I’m contented, there’s a tinge of competitiveness
                                       
But Ben's my friend and I know he gets it
 Bm
Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed
 A                                     D
Back to the studio doing twelve hours shifts
                                      
Singing a song about one thing or another
  F#m                        Em7           G  Em
Another day behind the microphone this summer
