Someday When I'm Old

.

Someday when I’m old

I’ll pull up to the store

And park wherever the hell I want to

I’ll buy a box of Moon Pies

And flirt with the cashier

Yeah, like I was still twenty-two

I’ll b*tch about eighteen dollars

For a gallon of gas

Down at the Texaco

Someday when I’m old

.

Yeah, someday when I’m old

I’ll keep chewing gum in my front pocket

And cold Dr. Pepper in the fridge

I’ll let my daughter get mad

Say I’m ruining their supper

When I give that stuff to my grand-kids

And I realize that some things,

They just don’t matter

And how fast it all goes

Someday when I’m old

.

That clock just starts ticking

Oh, the day that you’re born

And no matter how much time you get

You always want more

.

Someday when I’m old

I’ll be the only one

Who remembers you young and beautiful

Your dark hair falling on that pillowcase

All the secrets we shared,

All the love that we made

And I’ll hold onto those precious moments

Like pieces of gold

Someday when I’m old
