SENIOR CITIZEN
Another year has passed
Another day had passed
I know I'm a little bit older
This guy has a bad leg and shoulder
It was not so long ago my life was a blast
There were so many women I could attract
Now I have this baldness and gray hair
And losing hearing in one ear
Many of my teeth are missing
It seems like each month one is always disappearing
I guess this senior life I was never really prepared
My early life to my senior life I can't even compare
I know all my hard-working years are gone
Now that I wake up every day at dawn
I don't want to think my life is useless
But sometimes this senior life I'm just clueless
I feel my mind is good
But for some reason, I feel insecure
I could always remember the old memories
Back to the sixties and seventies
And the next thing I forgot is what you told me
To a certain degree
As a senior, citizen my money is limited
So spending my money becomes interesting
I'm not as strong as I used to be
But I feel I can still hold up to a certain degree
I'm still around and I think there is so much
I love to give still
And other goals I still have to achieve
I guess me being a senior
In the long run, I just wanted to be a leader
I guess there is no other person
That I would ever trade places with
I still have much to offer and give
