Live It Up

Another year has passed me by Now I’m a little older Summer seems much hotter And Winter seems much colder. I try to think of happy things And good times that I had But it seems the things that come to mind Tend to make me sad. My memory sorta tells me In the not too distant past I used to really have a ball And life was just a blast! I used to party often Go to shows and take vacations Now its go to funerals Talk of ailments and medications. I used to travel quite a lot No place was thought too far I would fly or go by train Or drive there in my car. But travel now has limits With aches and pains and such And an over-active bladder Makes me have to go too much. Bar-hopping was a big thing There was cigarettes and booze Now I just sit at home And watch the evening news. I think that ends my story Here's the reason why When I think back on the good-ol-days it sorta makes me cry. I'll enjoy whatever's left now that my story's told I'll live it up as best I can before I'm too darn old!
