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
