Lyrics
50 YEARS OLD
(THE BABY BOOMERS LAMENT)
WORDS AND MUSIC BY:
WILLIE MCCULLOCH
VERSE IT?S UP IN THE MORNING, BRAND NEW DAY,
I WONDER HOW I EVER GOT THIS WAY?
OH! THE TIMES ARE CHANGING?
LOOK AT THE PICTURE THAT HANGS ON THE WALL,
AND IT DON?T LOOK LIKE ME AT ALL?
OH! THE LINES ARE RE-ARRANGING?
CHORUS 50 YEARS?GETTING OUT OF THIS OLD BED,
50 YEARS?THINKIN WHAT MY MOMMA SAID,
50 YEARS?STANDIN ON MY OWN TWO FEET,
50 YEARS?HAVE GONE BY?
BUT I?M STILL ALIVE?!
VERSE A LITTLE BIT WISER, A LITTLE MORE GRAY,
ITS CALLED SOPHISTICATION, LEAST THAT?S WHAT THEY SAY,
OH! MY YOUTH IS SLIPPIN!
TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE, AND CLEAN UP THE YARD,
IT NEVER USED TO BE THIS HARD,
OH! THE BODY?S ACHING!
CHORUS 50 YEARS?GETTING OUT OF THIS OLD BED,
50 YEARS?THINKIN WHAT MY MOMMA SAID,
50 YEARS?STANDIN ON MY OWN TWO FEET,
50 YEARS?HAVE GONE BY?
BUT I?M STILL ALIVE?!
VERSE ONE THING I?VE GOT IS SOME PIECE OF MIND,
WITH THIS FAMILY, AND THIS LIFE OF MINE?
OH! IT?S REALLY SOMETHIN?!
WE MADE IT THIS FAR, AND I?M LOOKIN FORWARD TO,
ANOTHER FIFTY YEARS WITH YOU?!
OH! NOW THAT?S REALLY LOVIN!
CHORUS 50 YEARS?GETTING OUT OF THIS OLD BED,
50 YEARS?THINKIN WHAT MY MOMMA SAID,
50 YEARS?STANDIN ON MY OWN TWO FEET,
50 YEARS?HAVE GONE BY?
AND I?M STILL ALIVE?!
WHISTLE IT HOME! Willie McCulloch, 2000
