Over Fifty

I'm over fifty and picking up speed And I'm not talking about my car. Oh, I'm doing alright, I'm walking a lot But not nearly quite as far It's just that this road I'm taking Seems to be going down hill But I'm doing ok, I'm doing just fine As long as I take my pill Yes, my blood pressure's up My belly's falling down And I don't see as well as I did But, that's ok - that's alright After all, I'm no longer exactly a kid I look around at all my friends And wonder if they've ever been told "You look ok," "You look just fine" "But gee, you look a little bit old" Yes, I'm over fifty and picking up speed But I'm still trucking along I'm doing ok, I'm doing just fine I'm still going plenty strong
