someday when i'm old

someday when i'm old

i'll pull up to the store

and park wherever i want to. i'll buy a box of moonpies

and flirt with the cashier

yeah

like i was still 22

i'll bitch about $18

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 grandkids

now i realize that somethings

they just don't matter

and how fast it all goes

someday when i'm old

that clock just starts tickin

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 pillow case

all the secrets we shared

all the love that we made. and i'll hold on to those precious moments

like pieces of gold. someday when i'm old.
