At the Crack of Dawn
Up bright and early at the crack of dawn
Seems that's been my routine forever
Don't wanna waste a single damn moment
Don't wanna miss a single thing ever
Time seems forever when we're youngun's
Old age is a bunch of decades away
Then all of a sudden it jumps up and bites us
Celebrated your 60th birthday today
Talk about the years literally flying by
Seems like they're in overdrive they do
Here's some news you young whipper snappers
Soon be waving your young life, adieu
Sure didn't start out to write a downer
Guess my age is starting to catch up
Usually I'm over the top with the happy stuff
So back to wagging my tail like a pup!
