Getting Old (James Gang cover)

This is on the James Gang CD "Straight Shooter". Written by Domenic Troiano, an awesome guitarist/songwriter who died before his time.

Getting Old Domenic Troiano (James Gang)
***************************************************
Thinkin bout the time thats passed in my life
Wonderin where did it all go?
Thinking bout the memories that Ive left behind
Wondering if therell be much more

Walking off to school too many days
Running fast to get back home
Wish Id seen me through my mothers eyes
How she cried, now I stand alone
Im sitting here getting old
Watching my life unfold

Used to be that time it passed too slow
Now it seems to whistle past
In a rush to beat me to the end
Will I finish first or last

Who can know the roads will lead you to?
Hard to choose which way to go
No one finds the answer till the end
Even then, do we really know?
Did we find the right way to go?
Im sitting here getting old

Im sitting here getting old
Im sitting here getting old
Im sitting here getting old
Im sitting here getting old

@jpoppy1 Hey JPop - thanks for the nice comment. I DO remember Get Her Back Again and I LOVE that song. I'll give it a shot as soon as I can. It's got one of my favorite picking parts, though I won't do it nearly as well as Domenic did. Ken

What a beautiful job you've done on this fine tune! Donnie would approve I'm sure.

You've managed to capture the same vibe he had when he did it!

Terrific work! Thanks for keeping his music alive.

God Bless,

Shawne

@missusmusic Thanks so much, Shawne. I didn't know he was called Donnie, but I saw a great show in Phoenix many years ago - an unforgetable display of talent from that awesome band. All these years later, Straight Shooter is still one of my favorite CD's. He was the first guitarist I ever heard using a Leslie speaker, and he seemed to be able to do ANYTHING he wanted to do on guitar. Ken
