Triple ADD Blues
(Advances Aging Attention Deficit Disorder Blues)
By David Stumph

Verse 1:
I set out this morning
To clean up my kitchen
Put away some dishes
And an old oven mitten

From the corner of my eye I spied
An empty dog food dish
Reached for his food, but grabbed
A can of tuna fish

I thought, hmmm,
Must be time for lunch
I mixed up some grub and sat down
To have a munch

Chorus:
Ooo it sucks to get old
Things don’t go in straight lines, any more
Your mind wonders, so I’ve been told
And memories blur, but
It’ll get done In due time

I got the ADD, triple ADD blues!
I got the ADD, triple ADD blues!

Verse 2:
Walking my dog and
Planning the rest of my day
How bout some grocery shopping
Then got bills to pay

Got home from walking
Opened the frigerator door
Stood there a wonderin’
What I opened the refrigerator for

Retraced my steps and realized
I just wanted a snack
Went back and grabbed
an entire 6-pack

Thought about my grandkids
Should arrange for some FaceTime
Then was distracted
By that feeling of nap time again

Chorus:
So it sucks to get old
Things don’t go in straight lines, any more
Your mind wonders, so I’ve been told
And memories blur, but
It’ll get done In due time

I got the ADD, triple ADD blues!
I got the ADD, triple ADD blues!

Verse 3:
It all comes back around
I’m back in my kitchen
Still have work to do, and there’s
No point in bitchin’

My dog lets me know,
Without hesitation
His dish is still empty, And he...
Needs his libation

The bills on the table
Call out for attention
So I Grabbed my checkbook
And, oh, Oh, did I mention...

Chorus:
Ooo it sucks to get old
Things don’t go in straight lines any more
Your mind wonders, so I’ve been told
And memories blur, but
It’ll get done In due time

I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues!
I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues!

SPOKEN:
Thought I had a way To end the song
Just can’t seem to remember right now
Kind of goes in circles don’t it?
Just keeps coming back around
Like this chord progression
Just keeps coming back around

Maybe we should just fade it out
Hmmm, yah... that should work,
Let’s fade it out

Hear we go - fading away
Growing older and fading away

I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues!
I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues!
