John T. Wurzer - Retirement Resort

And now it's time to say goodbye to the USA TODAY
Get back to toys and comic books and bringing home my pay
Sitting in this time share and working on my tan
Is something that I did to remain well hid and to prove I really can

Did it ease my mind
Did it lighten my load
Did it help me to find something long ago sold
I don't think so; I don't think it helped me to make sense
Of countries that sink so low, at the rest of the world's expense
So excuse me for my brevity, and excuse this terse report
But I was never a man, meant to work on his tan in a retirement resort

Kind of surreal the way it makes you feel with the poolside music blaring
The average age much older than me, a little bolder and past caring
Trading tips on stocks and bonds, investments and cheap thrills
Not worrying about those who do without and those who cannot pay their bills

Did it ease my mind
Did it lighten my load
Did it help me to find something long ago sold
I don't think so; I don't think it helped me to make sense
Of countries that sink so low, at the rest of the world's expense
So excuse me for my brevity, and excuse this terse report
But I was never a man, meant to work on his tan in a retirement resort

So now it's time to say goodbye to golf course bums and broads
Goodbye to Karaoke bars and mild subdued applause
Goodbye to aging wrinkled skin and silver hair turned grey
Goodbye to cable news shows and to USA TODAY
