you're aging well

Singer:joan baez

why is it that as we grow older and stronger

the road signs point us adrift and make us afraid

saying

'you never can win'

'watch your back'

'where's your husband?'

i don't like the signs that the signmakers made

so i'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes

i'll change the directions

i'll hit every street

it's the tinseltown scandal

the robin hood vandal

she goes out and steals the king's english

and in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you

they say

i'm so glad that you finally made it here
