Squirrelier Than Earlier

Maybe it was a midlife crisis? I don't know, but I decided to write and record some new songs. When I composed this song, I knew it was the title track. Many of you may remember "The Squirrel Babies Wave Goodbye" and the many other sciuridae references throughout my songs.

I've been out of my tree
a couple of times
I lost a few nuts while trying to climb
I'll admit my tail is getting gray
but I'm squirrelier than earlier
and I won't go away
I ran across the road without injury
I've been chased by dogs
but they couldn't catch me
I've got a dozen babies
in a hollow log
I'm squirrelier than earlier
so read it on my blog
summer's almost gone I can tell
by the weather
some things mellow with age
while others get (better/bitter)
I feel at peace in my
heart and my brain
I'm squirrelier than earlier
(now back to the refrain...)
I'm squirrelier than earlier!
I'm squirrelier than earlier!
