This what happens when
You finally reach an old age
You're not a teenager
You actually know everything
Waking up
Before the light of day
Look in the mirror
There's wrinkles all over your face
First fixing your dentures
With your fastening paste
This life's not
All that glamorous
And I've lived for so many years
And it's felt like no time at all
And I've cried so many tears
That they're flowing like a waterfall
But I still put on
My favorite clothes
Turn on the telly
I've been having to sit real, real close
Pick up the phone
Forgot to dial my daughter Nichole
I haven't seen her
In a long time
We talk about the people
That we loved that lost their lives
I told you that this
Life's not glamorous
And I've lived for so many years
And it's felt like no time at all
And I've cried so many tears
That they're flowing like a waterfall
This old man, hourglass in his hand
Watching the sand flowing so fast
This old man, hourglass in his hand
Watching the sand flowing faster
This old man
Hourglass in his hand
This old man
Watching the sand
This what happens when
You finally reach an old age
Your life's a jungle
And you're no longer stuck in the cage
Wake up every day
And praise God
They say I'm old but
I just don't feel it a bit
No time to sit
'Cause life goes too quick
I won't be old 'til
Long after I'm gone
This old man, hourglass in his hand
Watching the sand, flowing so fast
This old man, hourglass in his hand
Watching the sand, flowing faster
This old man
Hourglass in his hand
This old man
Watching the sand
