lyrics

As the days go past
And the waves they crash
But this youth won’t last
But I’ll pretend for now

And my mind gets numb
And my fingers get dumb
Soon I won’t be able to strum
But I’ll do it while I can

And my legs they shake
And my heart it quakes
In the land of the lakes
It’s so cold out here

Now, don’t you get cute
Or I’ll give you the boot
And I’ll throw you down the chute
With no ladder

Don’t you get any ideas
You’re far too young for that
We say we live for tomorrow
But we want yesterday back

I bought some new pants
While traveling to France
And I added new plants
To my garden

She whimpered and cried
When I told her goodbye
But she always just sighed
When I adored her

You know I’m a jerk
When I steal all your perks
But I constantly work
For your children

Call me Henry Ford
A genius and a whore
So many people I did ignore
But I’m wealthy

Don’t you get any ideas
Pretty girls don’t have to deal with that
They say that love is blind
But I see you staring at those handsome men

My time has come and it’s gone
Those words I said were wrong
But you knew that all along
And you kept silent

You could’ve been my heart
My love the sea it parts
Now all I have’s a shopping cart
To shop for different women

My throat is dry
You stuck a needle in my eye
You stuck an eyelash in my pie
You’re so childish

I’m a man of taste
On my throne no fears to face
While the poor folk run the race
It’s good to be the king

Don’t you get any ideas
You don’t get paid enough for that
Slip on a banana peel
And break your mother’s back
