Salty tears and the humid skies The sticky heat of Florida Summer nights in mid July A trip that's way too far to drive Years spent living like you're young Hard to believe you're turning eighty-one Morning memories with you There is nothin' left to do Someone tell me how to feel about it Fate is written on the page We can never outrun age Blow out the candles on your birthday cake Sick of sickness (Sick of sickness) And Cheshire smiles (And Cheshire smiles) Am I allowed to feel this mad? No one to blame (No one to blame) Or time to pass (Or time to pass) Why do the good have it so bad? Years spent living like you're young Hard to believe you're turning eighty-one Morning memories with you There is nothin' left to do Someone tell me how to feel about it Fate is written on the page We can never outrun age Blow out the candles on your birthday cake Blow out the candles on your birthday cake
