about

Largely written in the studio when we recorded the Can't Live with You Can't Live Without You album back in 1999. I had the line …"I was born pre-tv heard Elvis from my mother's knee"…in my head so wrote the lyrics in the recording booth while the rest of the band overdubbed tracks in the studio. Jeff and Sam See came -up with the music fairly quickly…the whole thing took about 2 hours to write and record and became a staple in our live set for many years.

lyrics

I was born pre-tv…the rest of the song explains what that means...
lyrics
I was born, pre TV
Heard Elvis baby from my momma's knee
I was born pre-tv
Ain’t as young as I used to be,
But I can still see the wood from the trees
Even though I got emphysema and creaky knees
I was born pre TV
AIN’T AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE
.

-----

You say you’re workin baby

Working late at night,

But you come home all messed up

and you ain’t walkin’ right

I’m gonna tell you one thing baby

That you ortta know

You gotta fly right baby

Or you gotta go.

I was born pre TV
Heard Elvis from my mama’s knee
Ain't as young as I used to be

repeat second verse
