Fifty Lyrics

Fifty

Goin' zero to fifty

Felt like at times

It took a hundred years

As the years go by

The time she keeps on flying

Seems to get faster

Every year

The days

Use to drag on by

Learning how

To just survive

The daily chores

And never ending grind

Just waiting on that

Weekend fun

That second hand

Just wouldn't run

Moved like snails and

Not grains of sand

At three o'clock

That bell would sound

That hour hands

Spring unwound

Was the only time

I wished it'd slow down

Fifty

Goin' zero to fifty

Felt like at times

Took a hundred years

As the years go by

The time she keeps on flying

Seems to get faster

Every year

Wish it would slow down

So I can look around

I'm afraid

The next fifty

Won't take

Twenty years

After school

and weekend

The pedal was

to the floor

I had no idea

that final bell

Would be rocket fuel for my soul

When school was over

My life began

That Long long wait

For Christmas ended

Married with kids

Put nitrous in life's fuel

The more they grew

The quicker time flew

Now they're all grown

They're flying my coop

Just me and the missus

Will soon be living here

I'm hoping for a breather

Got to slow it on down

I see friends a little older

Who've crossed that line

I'm afraid to ask

If their time has slowed down

Fifty

Goin' zero to fifty

Felt like at times

Took a hundred years

As the years go by

The time she keeps on flying

Seems to get faster

Every year

Wish it would slow down

So I can look around

I'm afraid

The next fifty

Won't take

Twenty years

Fifty

Goin' zero to fifty

Felt like at times

Took a hundred years
