We'Re Not Getting Any Younger
You can go or you can stay, it's entirely up to you
She said laying all her cards upon the table
Call me later when you figure what it is you want to do
Close the gate or let the horse out of the stable.
I kind of figured out I was ruining short on time
When she asked about my dreams and aspirations
I was very happy, thought that we were doing fine
But then future plans ruled every conversation
So I made a made a mental list of what I wanted from my life
I even hunted down a pencil and some paper
What I needed did not stray beyond some children and a wife
What I wanted used up all of the eraser.
So I called her on the phone and asked her if she was alone
And did she want to hear what i was thinking
I said it's time I settled down, took a wife and build a home
And before you ask me no I ain't been drinking.
