Car payments, Insurance bills all the money that we spend Climbing trees, playing tag those days would never end Fighting with a boss who never gets it wrong The boys down on the corner sing your favorite song Credit cards, utility bills are most important now Corn dogs, popcorn you ate all some how Braces, tuition the bills keep coming in Sitting with a jig saw puzzle, where do I begin A year has come and gone with fifty on its way “Hey Joey what cha doin; ya wanna come and play”? I needed that promotion I guess I’ll have to wait The kid who got my job just turned twenty eight It used to be so simple when youth was on your side But now it all got backwards the game is seek and hide We always take for granted what the future has to hold The one thing that I do know, is that I’m getting old I often sit and ponder of all the things we did If everything was equal, I’d rather be a kid Joe Callari
