I keep up with all the latest health and fitness trends every single day
I’m trying really hard to do my best to keep the aging process at bay
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice
Taking a break from all this this healthy stuff sure would be nice
I’m buttoned down a bit too tight
I really want to take a bite
Of something that’s not right
And one day I just might
I try to make good food choices when I shop at the grocery store
When I go to a friend’s house I drink one beer, even though I want to drink more
I try to get regular exercise and keep my weight under control
I try not to turn up the volume when I listen to rock and roll
I’m buttoned down a bit too tight
I really want to take a bite
Of something that’s not right
And one day I just might
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream

When you’re living a life of self deprivation
Sometimes you’ve gotta take a little break
Sometimes you gotta put down the celery and have a slice of cake
Sometimes you just gotta let down your hair
Even if you don’t have very much left up on top of there
I’m buttoned down a bit too tight
I really want to take a bite
Of something that’s not right
And one day I just might
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream
These days my idea of being crazy is having an extra scoop of ice cream

Buttoned Down A Bit Too Tight

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
