Miscellaneous
Backside Of Thirty (1979)
Making money at thirty with a wife and a son
Then a short five years later it all comes undone
Sheâs gone back to mama with the boy by her side
Now Iâm blind drunk and running with them on my mind
Iâm on the backside of thirty and back on my own
An empty apartment donât feel like a home
On the backside of thirty, the short side of time
Back on the bottom with no will to climb
Itâs dawn Monday morning and I just called in sick
I skipped work last Friday to drink this much red
And when my friends ask me Iâll tell them Iâm fine
But my eyes tell the story that my lies canât hide
Iâm on the backside of thirty and back on my own
An empty apartment donât feel like a home
On the backside of thirty, the short side of time
Back on the bottom with no will to climb
