Years Come and Go
I watched a year come and go
And then I watched another
Pretty soon I'd watched a lot
So one looked like the other
I had children, so did they
And I marveled it was so
I was in school not long since
Where did all the New Years go
There's another comin' up
Maybe I'll swim the channel
Or climb the highest mountain
And ditch this checkered flannel
Could I be another me
An aggressive so and so
And take this world by the horns
And make it beg to let go
That's a thought before my nap
Could I yet learn to be bold
But then again life's been good
I sort of like bein' old
