Awesome song and lyrics Joe, as usual! I noticed some nice harms in this song, really cool! You can stick a fork in us 'cause we're done! Just in time for Thanksgiving too!👍😎✌🏼

Great energy. The BV throughout is a nice addition - it really makes the vocal pop and have so much character.

"Those were your salad days but now your lettuce is wilted" is a good line and it's going to haunt me in a weird way this week.

I love the way you make songs 👌👏👏👏!!!!

too funny but too true what you sing here..."wilted lettuce" is quite an image I will say..great tune here Joe

I relate to this song. My earlier stuff was way better than my new stuff and I'm struggling to recapture some of my x factor that I had in my salad days. Great song, you sound like Ween a lot.

Your songs areone of a kind and always fun, and right on too. Love it!

You’ve been thinking about those good old days when the future was a blank slate
And all those choices that you made that got you to this current state
If you could go back in time and give yourself some advice
Instead of choosing the safe path, maybe you should have rolled the dice

Time can pass so quickly
But in the moment, it feels slow
And then one day you ask yourself
Where did all that time go
You can dip your toes in the water 
And slowly easy your body in
Or you can walk up to the edge 
And jump in and swim

Those were your salad days but now your lettuce is wilted
You lost your mojo somewhere along the way
You tell yourself you can’t go back you’re goanna keep on marching forward
And somehow, it’s all goanna turn out okay

You can go through life agitated and tightly wound
You can live your life like a dog trapped in a pound
You can wake up every morning and do the same thing you did the day before
Or you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you’re not goanna take it anymore

You’re heading down the road towards an unpleasant destination
And you’re searching for a way to change your situation
You can dip your toes in the water and slowly easy your body in
Or you can walk up to the edge and  jump in and swim

Those were your salad days but now your lettuce is wilted
You lost your mojo somewhere along the way
You tell yourself you can’t go back you’re goanna keep on marching forward
And somehow, it’s all goanna turn out okay
Those were your salad days but now your lettuce is wilted
You lost your mojo somewhere along the way
You tell yourself you can’t go back you’re goanna keep on marching forward
And somehow, it’s all goanna turn out okay
Here’s hoping  that tomorrow’s goanna be a better day.

Salad Days

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.
