    Story Behind the Song
    The morning I turned 50, I wrote the first few lines in bed. I put it together with another melody I was working on and recorded it with my Strat, using Roland sound modeling for the bass line.

    Lyrics
    Woke this morning, couldn’t get out of bed
    Couldn’t believe what the calendar said
    Another birthday, circled in red
    Got The Five-Oh Birthday Blues, The Five-Oh Birthday Blues

    Tried to fit into last year’s clothes
    Hurt my back when I touched my toes
    I can’t see much beyond my nose
    I got The Five-Oh Birthday Blues, The Five-Oh Birthday Blues

    Chorus 1
    Used to be that I could play all night
    Get 3 hours sleep and wake up feeling right
    But that was then and how it used to be
    Now I’m getting letters from the AARP


    So my stride’s a little slower
    Can’t do the lawn without a sit-down mower
    Saw an old girlfriend, and I didn’t know her
    I got The Five-Oh Birthday Blues, The Five-Oh Birthday Blues

    Chorus 2
    I think of all the things I used to do
    At least what I recall (forgot a thing or two)
    And I hope that there’s still a few miles in me
    There’s a whole lotta world that I have yet to see

    So I guess that I’ll roll out of bed
    Try to get some music in my head
    Being here is better than being dead
    So I’m waiting for those Six-Oh Blues
    Just dealing with the Five-Oh Blues
