“I Think I’m Going Bald” captures a narrator’s dismay with not just the physical realities of growing older, but the sense of having sacrificed one’s ideals throughout the course of their life.

[Verse 1]
I looked in the mirror today
My eyes just didn't seem so bright
I've lost a few more hairs
I think I'm... I'm going bald
I think I'm going bald!
[Verse 2]
Well it seems like only yesterday
We would sit and talk of dreams all night
Dreams of youth and simple truth
Now we're all so involved
So involved with life!
[Chorus]
I walk down vanity fair
Memory lane everywhere
Wall Street shuffles there
Dressed in flowing hair
[Guitar Solo]
Go wild!
[Verse 3]
Once we loved the flowers
Now we ask the price of the land
Once we would take water
But now it must be wine
Now we've been
And now we've seen
What price peace of mind
Take a piece of my mind!
[Chorus]
My life is slipping away
I'm aging every day
But even when I am grey
I'll still be grey my way
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah!
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
Ohh, yeah!
Ohh, yeah!
Ohh, yeah!
