As time goes by and dust accumulates
On shelves too high to see too well
That go unnoticed for months on end
Cause dusting ain’t my thing you can tell
But the cobwebs had grown too thick
And I was worried it was a fire hazard
So I climbed on a chair to clean the top shelf.
Whipping it down I was glad I did
Finding Dylan’s Self Portrait up there.
A vinyl classic in a CD world
Just finding it took me way back
And made my head swirl
A legend of an era of the distant past
For who we would scream and holler
He’s got a concert here in town
Tickets costing 125 dollar
I’d sit back and listen to the music
But the phonograph is long dead
So I'll just get a couple fingers of Jack
And listen to the echoes in my head.

I catch myself saying things like, I had that record, or that 45 and I laugh, and feel old for a minute, but then I just enjoy those memories, thanks for this one

Makes me feel old when I hear youngens' ask what vinyl is....
