Old Boys in Waiting
Age comes with a price.
At first there's student loans to pay, and medical bills soon come your way:
There's marriages and births...
Save some money for the worst of times, spend a nickel or throw a dime.
Insurance and loans to buy a home, between car payments and rental fees;
Donate to your church while praying on your knees.
Our wallets grow thinner with each passing day, working grim and *****, tryin' to find another way:
Just make it through and retire, watch the grand kids grow.
Maybe spend a couple of months down in Mexico.
Soon enough you'll have to leave your line, and realize that real wealth...comes in the form of time.
