"When You're 69" lyrics
Well, I'm 69 years old and I can say
I ain't goin' to fight in no man's war today
'Cause they don't want nobody
Don't want nobody as old as me
Well, someday you'll get there too
And the same thing's gonna happen to you
When you're young and dumb
Your birthdays come too fast
When you get a little older then it - uh
Won't make you feel so bad
When you're lookin' over the hill
Man you got a different point of view
Don't have to go nowhere you don't want to
Don't have to do nothin' you don't wanna do
(When you're 69. Come on, Little Dale!)
Just like an old dog
When you can't learn new tricks
Every day you wake up
Somethin' needs to be fixed
Light up in the morning
Have a cup of afternoon wine
Take your breakfast in the evening
'Cause ya got no sense of time
When you're 69
Man, it ain't no use in cryin'
If you live life to its fullest
There won't be no more time for dyin'
When you're 69
I ain't goin' to fight in no man's war today
'Cause they don't want nobody
Don't want nobody as old as me
Well, someday you'll get there too
And the same thing's gonna happen to you
When you're young and dumb
Your birthdays come too fast
When you get a little older then it - uh
Won't make you feel so bad
When you're lookin' over the hill
Man you got a different point of view
Don't have to go nowhere you don't want to
Don't have to do nothin' you don't wanna do
(When you're 69. Come on, Little Dale!)
Just like an old dog
When you can't learn new tricks
Every day you wake up
Somethin' needs to be fixed
Light up in the morning
Have a cup of afternoon wine
Take your breakfast in the evening
'Cause ya got no sense of time
When you're 69
Man, it ain't no use in cryin'
If you live life to its fullest
There won't be no more time for dyin'
When you're 69
