Fifty

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I turned fifty on an autumn day Well, the grass was brown and the sky was gray But I never felt so strong I turned fifty So come on world, bring it on [Verse 2] I can't round the bases like I could But I'm still in the game, so knock on wood I get the jump on the pitch and I catch one more I turned fifty I quit keeping score [Verse 3] Hey you kids, this ain't no jive But I've seen the Beatles perform live My new guitar is all hand crafted I turned fifty Best of all, I can't get drafted [Verse 4] But I don't get carded in a bar And I own my house and I own my car I can't believe I made it this far I turned fifty And I still wish upon a star [Verse 5] Once life was a race and I had to run it Now I know what not to do because I've done it Well, there's too much anger and too much crap I turned fifty I think I'll take a nap [Verse 6] Sometimes I think about the days back then But there's no returning to way back when Well, I loved 'em all but those days are gone I turned fifty So come on world, bring it on
