Lyrics

Greeted at baggage claim
The start of my escape
Faces; much greeting
Food, beer, celebrating

Reminded of time passed
Between now and the last
Lives change each visit
Catching up as I sit

With the one who raised me
Still has health I see
Cat still lying around
Lighter by a pound

Bar to bar with the cousins
One-uping jokes with a grin
Hearing namesake uncle’s stories
Jungles, guns, explosives

Grandfather connects
My experience
To his time younger
Mariachi player

So many different people
Lives different than mine
Childhood artwork everywhere
Old wives tales told again

Getting older
Getting older
Getting older
Getting older
