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
