Tinkering from Double Takes by Gordie Tentrees & Jaxon Haldane

Tinkering – Gordie Tentrees (BLUEWWATER MUSIC)

“Inspired by a late- night discussion with a newfound friend in Australia after a show the seed for this tune was hatched, took me 2 years and many re-writes before it came to fruition right before my 50th b-day, setting my own goals to hit before my 75th birthday” Gordie sings and plays acoustic guitar, Jaxon adds low and high harmony, banjo, electric guitar and fiddle- saw, Steve lays down the bass, Shawn pounds the drums and Nash Chambers bangs some metal


Woke up with a bald spot Everything is grey on top shrinking head to toe
Must I pee so slow, sliding out of underwear, this skin is dead no fair
This dad bod rocks hope this heart don’t stop
Chorus
Listen in, don’t let the old man in
Keep Tinkering in, don’t let him in
Pick up your tools build a cello you fool
Don’t let him in, keep tinkering

Swim upstream, take nature off course, polish your balls, ride naked on a horse
Get a Spanish tongue, cha cha for fun, cook an 8-course meal, hope a train, make a new deal

Breakie for Dinner, masturbate till noon, love your scars, box a kangaroo
Sport a thong, then bang a gong, before you forget all the words to your own songs

Bridge
keep tinkering with everything, there’ no excuse your still of use, don’t let’em put you in a book, or underground where you can’t found, if you wanna live you better give, more than you take before it’s too late, if you wanna grow awfully old, make sure you/to love the ones you hold

Everything goes, when getting old, can’t see a thing, or touch you toes
So put on skates, then resuscitate, all your dreams, before it’s too late
