I’m at a time when the years behind me
Are more than the years ahead 
When things I’ve done say more about me
Than anything I’ve said
Where paths I could have taken are mostly overgrown
And the only road that matters is the one that takes me home

I’m at the point where laughter
Is the only hit I need
Where the race I run has more to do 
with stamina than speed
Where every precious memory stored up for so long
Needs to find a purpose before it’s gone

We get some young We get some old
We get three score years and ten
or so we’re told
We get as many days as we do nights
as many wrong as we do right
But hey - we only get one life

I’m in a place where what I have
Is more than I can spend
Where what you see is what you get
It’s too hard to pretend
Where I love everybody even if they don’t love me
And I realise that where I am is where I’m meant to be

We get some young We get some old
We get three score years and ten
or so we’re told
We get as many days as we do nights
as many wrong as we do right
But hey - we only get one life

We only get one life 
so this one has to do
You can save it - you spend it 
I’ll leave that to you

We get some young
We get some old
We get three score years and ten
or so we’re told
We get some young
We get some old
We get our time in the sun 
Before our time out in the cold
as many days as we do nights
as many wrong as we do right
But hey - we only get one life
