lyrics
Here I am, I’m still alive
Try another year on for size
Still writing ‘bout all this crazy jive
Been a while since I played out live
But here I am, to my surprise
did my ship come in, did it arrive
hard to say, but ive survived
the ripe old age of 55
I heard that number & thought ‘old age’
Like is it time to get off the stage
You put that number on a page
Seems like I’m as old as the stone age
there’s only so much you can rage
Father time’s got us in his cage
I’m redefining it as middle age
Not a young Turk not an old sage
(Yet)
And yes it's true you can bet
There are things in my life I'd rather forget
And certain people I wish I'd met
But in so many ways I’m really set
I'm lucky to be married to
The one that stops me feeling blue
The only one for me was you
Morning noon and night that's true
Got little health stuff joints and knees
But I still got my hair, please
And tho its true I nap with ease
And I’ll never get back on those skis
I never skied in the past
Not that you really had to ask
I’m slowing down I can still think fast
Not always first but not always last
Here I am, I’m still alive
Try another year on for size
Guess its true ive survived
To the ripe old age of 55
