I Pay for Things I Used to Do Free | Delta Blues Brother

Описание: 💸 Funny how life sends the bill later.

“I Pay for Things I Used to Do Free” is a slow Delta blues reflection on aging, time, and the quiet price of simply getting older.
It’s about waking up and realizing that even the smallest things now come with a cost — not in money, but in effort, patience, and pain.

🎸 A worn resonator guitar walks slow and steady, like an old body learning its limits.
🎶 The harmonica answers in tired breaths, laughing softly at the truth we all recognize.
The groove stays low and unhurried — built for evenings when the day already took enough.

This is the blues of understanding.
Of learning that nothing stays free forever — especially time.

Lyrics:

Ain’t funny how life charges you later.

[Verse 1]
I used to run all night for nothing
Jump fences, laugh it off
Now even getting outta bed
Feels like it costs me something extra, boss

My knees send bills to my wallet
My back adds interest too
I pay for things I used to do free
Just waking up feels overdue

[Chorus]
I pay for things I used to do free
Breath, steps, and dignity
Ain’t mad, just counting slow
What time already charged to me

[Verse 2]
Doctor knows me by first name
Pharmacy waves when I walk in
Used to spend cash on good times
Now I spend it on getting through ‘em

Ain’t broke…
Just paying late fees to time.
