John Edwards' Hair

Story Behind The Song

I actually wrote this four years ago -- before all the girl troubles were revealed.

Song Description

John Edwards, former Presidential candidate, has great hair, and any middle-aged guy (like me) envies it. This is about having to compete with his tonsorial splendor -- to the point that the protaganist's girlfriend can't take her eyes off ol' John.

Lyrics

I'm Gettin' Up Near 50
and things are slowin' down
my eyesight's gettin' dimmer
and I cannot hear a sound
but I know I'd feel much better
If I could get a gift so rare
If God could just reach right down and Gimme
John Edwards' Hair

I want John Edwards' Hair
I want John Edwards' Hair
Before the years catch up with him
and steal his youthful flair
the men all would envy me
the women all would stare
if God could just reach right down and gimme
John Edwards Hair
