Lyrics
Ed's at 55
Playing in the majors was childhood dream
But now hes pitching for the office softball team
He's not in bad shape, but maybe past his prime
He could still take these hot shots any time
Two of his pals have had heart attacks
Quit smoking, go vegan and cut the fat
Living green ... Yeah, he's working on that
Ed's at 55
He always thought that he should be a star
A song in his heart and a nice guitar
He's so trendy with his stud earrings
The ponytails a nice touch....just the thing
He could be top of the charts with Grammy votes
The whole world grooving to his every note
Just catch one break and that's all she wrote
Ed's at 55
Lead
He needs to start thinking retirement
Time sure flies, don't know where it went
On his bucket list there's a trip to France
Take piano lessons and learn to dance
His high school girl is still his best friend
They're gonna ride it til the very end
On life overall, yeah, he'd do it again
Ed's at 55
