When You're 69

Well, I'm 69 years old and I can say

I ain't going to fight in no man's war today

'Cause they don't want nobody

Don't want nobody as old as me

Someday you'll get there too

And the same thing's gonna happen to you

When you're young and dumb

Your birthdays come too fast

When you get a little older then it

Won't make you feel so bad

When you're looking over the hill

Man, you got a different point of view

Don't have to go nowhere you don't want to

Don't have to do nothing you don't wanna do

(When you're 69, alright, little Dale)

Let's go

Yeah

Just like an old dog

When you can't learn no new tricks

Every day you wake up

Something needs to be fixed

Light up in the morning

Have a cup of afternoon wine

Take your breakfast in the evening

'Cause you got no sense of time

When you're 69

Man, it ain't no use in crying

You live life to its fullest

There won't be no more time for dying

When you're 69
