Time Is Slippin' Away - John Williamson

It comes as a shock and I don’t know

Where the hell did my life go?

I planted a tree and look at it now

It’s big and half dead and I’m thinkin'

Wow, time is slippin' away

Now sometimes I feel half my age

Then I look in the mirror

I’m just like the old coaches that I see

I’m lookin' at them and they’re lookin' at me

And all of a sudden we’re the old farts in our town

But I won’t complain with all I’ve done, that’s all I know

Workin' out in the mornin' sun, havin' a go

I feel like thankin' something for what I see

So I thank the stars for shining down on me

I can’t handle the heat these days

So I find the shade like and old dog

I have a pair they say and I’m just lazy

I get a bit more done in the evening when it’s cool

But I won’t complain with all I’ve done, that’s all I know

Workin' out in the mornin' sun, havin' a go

I feel like thankin' something for what I see

So I thank the stars for shining down on me

I always see the brighter side of life

Sometimes drives others mad

I’ve found good friends and lost a love or two

But life is short, it’s what you do

And you don’t get far being too careful

But I won’t complain with all I’ve done, that’s all I know

Workin' out in the mornin' sun, havin' a go

I feel like thankin' something for what I see

So I thank the stars for shining down on me

Yeah, it comes as a shock and I don’t know

Where the hell did my life go?

I planted a tree and look at it now

It’s big and half dead and I’m thinkin'

Wow, time is slippin' away

Yeah, time is slippin' away
