He's drinking cold Corona
|
Feels like he's getting older now,
|
And noticing how he's finding
|
Grey hairs left in the shower
|
Tattoos fade by the hour
|
And he can't understand these feelings
|
Why life is getting him down
|
He used to smile now he frowns
|
And cries inside
|
Its been this way for a while
|
And he can't seem to put things right
|
|
When life has been unkind
|
And you're losing your mind
|
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
|
It feels like time's not on your side
|
|
He doesn't like to mention
|
Applying for his pension
|
So his children don't know he's heading
|
Into a mid-life crisis
|
He cant afford the prices for
|
The new kitchen floor he's buying
|
He's been a drunk all his life
|
Two kids, a dog and a wife
|
He doesn't know
|
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
|
|
When life has been unkind
|
And you're losing your mind
|
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
|
It feels like time's not on your side
|
|
Don't know why but somehow
|
The ones you love you hate now,
|
You feel down and blue
|
Look at what you've thrown away
|
They stood beside you all the way
|
Now its too late, its too late for you
|
|
When life has been unkind
|
And you're losing your mind,
|
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
|
It feels like time's not on your side
|
