about

Tommy plants his flag in the septuagenarian sand with this slow-and-sturdy slab of blues-rock, with searing slide guitar leads from Tim McGraw's longtime bandleader, Denny Hemingson.

lyrics

I’m not here to criticize
But I’ve lived life beyond your eyes
We’re all doin’ what we gotta do
To make it through another day
Punch a clock, draw some pay
Here’s the deal I’m ‘bout to lay on you

When you say I need to wait
Stand in line, don’t be late
Pau my dues like any other fool
I did my time, ran the race
so I’m gonna get up in your face
buddy you can’t tell me what to do
‘cuz I’m 72

That is not a number you should mess with
Not about to toe the line no more
Show me some respect
Or you can stick it in your ear

Won’t stand in line – at 72
Bide my time – that won’t do
Save my dough – oh, now
Couple puffs – I’m good to go

SOLO

I was you when I was young
Too much work, not enough fun
Saving pennies for a rainy day
Now I’m cruisin’ ‘cross the nation
Blowing steam of my creation
Loving what I love along the way

I am not a number you should mess with
Not about to toe no line no more
Show me some respect or you can stick it in your ear

Won’t stand in line – at 72
Bide my time – that won’t do
Save my dough – oh, now
Couple puffs – I’m good to go
Senior discount - now you’re talkin’
Yoga mats – lots of walkin’
Makin’ music - with my friends
Chillin’ out – until the end

So buddy, you can’t tell me what to do…‘cuz I’m 72
