OLD AGE BLUES

Kids grown up and left us all alone
Empty nesters in an empty home
Starting to forget things I surely ought to know
Get in the car but can't remember where to go
The game of life we all gonna lose
The years turn the screws and give you
The old age blues

Senior moments, they come thick and fast
Forget you just drank your coffee but remember decades past
Aches and pains in the neck, and in the knees
Plan your day about where you gonna take a pee
The game of life we all gonna lose
The years turn the screws and give you
The old age blues

Had me a job doing the nine to five
Didn't make much but it kept us alive
Then they gave my job to a kid in need
For half my pay and twice my speed
The game of life we all gonna lose
The years turn the screws and give you
The old age blues

Fifty years old and working for cheap
Just another piece of scrap on the heap
They say you get monkeys when peanuts is the pay
When you ain't got nothing you don't refuse anyway
The game of life we all gonna lose
The years turn the screws and give you
The old age blues
