Lyrics

OLD MAN TIME


I've got nothing but time on my hands, it just keeps slipping through like sand
My to do list, well, it never gets done
They say you've got to walk before you can run
I keep running though I don't know why
It only brings me closer to old man time

Old man time - Nursing homes and wheelchair races
Old man time - Plastic hips and orthopedic braces
Old man time - Checker games on old park benches
And a list of pills too long to mention
Every gray hair and wrinkle that I'm sure to find will bring me closer to
Old man time

I looked in the mirror today and saw my grandpa there in my place
He said "you're looking good for a man your age
A little more like me with every passing day
You'd better hurry up and stand in line
And get yourself closer to old man time

Old man time - garden gnomes and lawn care classes
Old man time - "where'd I leave my reading glasses"
Old man time - aches and pains and senior moments
I need two Cialis just to get me going
Now my hairline's receding, but my lawn looks fine
I must be closer to old man time

Geritol and Ben Gay, Polident and Bran Flakes all wait there for me
Medicare and Matlock, cataracts and unmatched socks lie just around the bend
...will it be boxers or briefs, perhaps it just Depends

I'm getting mail from AARP and money saving coupons for false teeth
I drove home today with my blinker on
All my college tune are now oldies songs
With every tick of the clock I feel my youth go by and
I get closer to old man time


Old man time - hearing aids and memory lapses
Old man time - bingo games and shuffleboard classes
Prune juice in bulk supply
Show me your scars and I'll show mine
Now I fight my way into the early bird line
To get closer to old man time
