and one in the grave - hey!
well, there's too many bills
I can't save - no
so I try my best
got nothing to prove
this old guy in the mirror
come and cuts my groove again

(chorus)

go on and write me off as too old to drive
sit there and wonder - is he still alive?
put me in a home, all that jive
I
can't
BE
fifty five!
