most of us don't think to know
or ever plan on getting old
in youthful folly what's the need
out living life wild and free

BEFORE YOU KNOW
YOU'RE OLD...

i don't think it coincidence
that when we're young we make a mess
never thinking too far ahead
then here we are with no time left

BEFORE YOU KNOW
YOU'RE OLD...

with youthful vigor out the door
no time to loose as you loose score
used to be good at the game
now with no idea where you're shoes are laid

BEFORE YOU KNOW
YOU'RE OLD...

you sit and wonder where it went
overweight with a mind that slips
all held together with Poligrip
you sit and wonder where it went
or did you already say that

BEFORE YOU KNOW
YOU'RE OLD...
