Story behind the song

i wrote this story after my buddy's bachelor party.  what unfolded was one of the most special and bizzare things .... it was about 11am.  we had just finished a serious game of paintball and had hit the local bar.  we're sucking back our second or third beer and all of a sudden, this older guy -- maybe 65 -- stands up and starts singing.  an old tune, too.  maybe something out of the '20s.  and he was GOOD.  anyhow, we started talking and it turned out, we had a lot in common.  this song is about that day.

Lyrics

it’s a rainy tuesday afternoon 
i’m out of work and i don’t know what to do 
turn on the tv try to be all i can be
but i get bored quick with the same old shit
and like the rest of you i’m sick of it all being the same day
day in and out and out and in we go
and as it goes well so it goes and goes ‘til we follow
and so it comes that i must go 
but to tell the truth i just don’t know if i ever will 

same rainy tuesday afternoon 
still home and no clue what to do
nothing on the tv but cartoons and yesterday’s news
motivate and head outside surprised to find
a cloudless sky i missed resting on the inside
and side to side we slide we ride across 
the tide of time and time to time it’s fine not to follow
and so it comes that i must go 
gone at once then once i know i’m off 

      off to find a little ripple in my mind
      slip a little ripple in my mind
      i’m looking for a ripple for my mind
      throw another rock and get a ripple in my mind 

i hit a bar not far from here ordered a beer
and peered over the rim at him 
he was me at sixty years
i said hello we started to chat
he told me stories of where he was at sick of it all being the same day
and so he sang a song a song that came from god knows when
and when he was done we all applauded him
and then it came that i had come 
to the right place at the right time to find 

      find a little ripple in my mind
      slip a little ripple in my mind
      i’m looking for a ripple for my mind
      throw another rock and get a ripple in my mind
