Speed Limit Years
Notes
The car is wearing out, but it gets me where I need to go
It's scratched and has some dents but I don't mind
One hundred fifty thousand miles is a long, long way to go
Drove me to the speed limit years.
The fan rattles, the upholstery's stained, the left front tire squeaks
We've survived three accidents
But it's paid for, has new tires, and the engine's going strong
Cruising through the speed limit years.
My gramma told me "Don't ever get old."
But there's no good alternative, I'm told.
Fifty-five to seventy is a new stage of life
Starting to develop aches and pains
It's nothing that'll kill me yet, but it's making me slow down
Riding through the speed limit years.
What's gonna happen to my family?
And what about little old me?
I take five kinds of medicines and physical therapy
But I can't sleep through the night or eat as much
My knee and shoulder hurt, but I'm not gonna complain
'Cause I'm enjoying the speed limit years.
When I lose my license, and then my mind
And all the luggage, what'll be left behind?
It's time to stop the racing 'roun
