Old Enough(Ode to an Aging Rocker) (Lifelines Live Version) - Peter, Paul & Mary

Well lately I've been picking

Strange vibrations

I hear my music now on oldies stations

Put out a cd called the best of what I was

My picture's on the cover and no one knows

Because I'm

Old enough

Old enough to be your father

Old enough isn't yeah

Old enough and then son

Just when you think

You've got the wisdom of the ages

Nobody seems to want to turn your pages

I used to think I was the cat's pajamas

Now I'm about as hip as fernando lamas

I'm old enough

Old enough to be your father

I'm old enough

Old enough and then son

And now my kids are taking me to the shows

There's hiphop rap and roll music I don't know

I like to think I'm still part of the crowd

But how can they hear the lyrics

When the music is so loud

I dig rock and roll music

I've been saying that for a while

But I wonder if you knew

That rhythm and blues

Began the rock and roll style

And just like that way before rap

Woody guthrie spread the news

He told it straight let us relate

This talking union blues

Oh let you want higher wages

Let me tell you what to do

You've got to talk to the workers

In the shop with you

You got to build you a union

Got to make it strong

But if you all stick together

Boys it won't be long

You get shorter hours

Better working conditions

Vacations with pay

Take the kids to the seashore

One two three

Well I remember I was seventeen

I was a Birmingham high school

Rock and roll king

The paper talked about

How I'd strut my stuff

I'd like to read it

But my arms aren't long enough

One two three four

Ooh ooh more enough

Ooh ooh more enough

Ooh ooh more enough

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh more enough
