I dont feel like time
Slipping through my hand
The glass is never empty
In my master plan

I still think its alright
Cried one too many times
Aint worried about the future
My advancing years

And I dont give a damn
Cause I am what I am
But the man upstairs is painting
With a different brush today
Where there used to be all black
Now theres little flecks of grey

And while Im trying to make some sense of it
The laughter takes a hold
Im the same age as my father was
When I first thought he was getting old

But I dont want to work
My fingers to the bone
Me Id rather drink wine
With you back at home

I dont want to think about
What car the neighbours bought
Im happy just to sit here
Laughing on the porch
And I dont really care
What they got over there

Oh I tried to run the mile today
I maybe should have walked
My head had the ambition
But my body was all talk
While Im triyng to make some sense of it
The laughter takes hold
Im the same age as my father was
When I first thought he was old.

Hey you hate what I wear
But Im too old to care
Oh I tried to waltz you round the room
Like some lovesick fool
But the kids said please dont shame us, dad
Youre dancing so uncool
While Im trying to make some sense of it
The laughter takes hold
Im the same age as my father was
When I first thought he was old.
