Topic: That's What Life's About
Just a contemplative song about how you turn your head a minute and something else you grew up with is no more....could have called the song Shake My Head but I think this title is a little more top dead center.
That’s What Life’s About By Jeff Gilpin

Intro
[G] / / / / [D]
[G]I went down just the other day to the grocery store
Just the same way my father and his [G7]father did before
[C]But I found when I went down the store all locked and chained
[G]Lights turned off windows boarded hand painted sign on the door
That [D]said closed and out of business so [C]if you want to shop
Head down to the [G]super saver shopping center mega emporium that’s [D]just down the [G]block [G7]
[Em]God I do love progress and all the new inventions
And [C]all the stuff I never knew I needed but now can’t live without
Un[Em]fortunately with every change and the best of intentions
You [D]got to give up the old stuff and [C]that’s what life’s about [G] / / / / [D]
[G]Driving up the road a ways I used to pass thisfarm
Where I’d always see this farmer waveI’d [G7]answer with my arm
[C]But now the farm has gone away been filled in with houses
And [G]signs saying stop on by and check us out there are only a few units left
And [D]off around the side I could [C]still see that old barn
Not part of the [G] Dominion Valley gated community sub-division home owners' associ[D]ation or a [G]farm[G7]
[Em]God I do love progress and all the new inventions
And [C]all the stuff I never knew I needed but now can’t live without
Un[Em]fortunately with every change and the best of intentions
You [D]got to give up the old stuff and [C]that’s what life’s about [G] / / / / [D]
If [G]I could predict the future I guess there’s one sure bet
All that stuff you like today well [G7]you can just forget
It [C]doesn’t matter what you like if it gets in the way of progress
[G]New ways are coming so best just to bend over ‘cause here they come
[D]I’m sure before too long we'll all be [C]happy with the rearranging
But un[G]til that time I’ll grit my teeth hold it in and [D]suffer through the [G]changing [G7]
[Em]God I do love progress and all the new inventions
And [C]all the stuff I never knew I needed but now can’t live without
Un[Em]fortunately with every change and the best of intentions
You [D]got to give up the old stuff and [C]that’s what life’s about [C] [G]
