[Verse 1]
Hey, what's the matter with kids these days?
They just never seem to do what I say
I tell 'em, "Don't snort coke"
I tell 'em, "Please don't smoke"
But it's clear they're gonna learn it their way

[Chorus]
Hey, what's the deal, have I lost my mind?
I can't seem to recall the times
They must've passed me by like a long train ride
When I was heading through the country again

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, and it's hard growing old
When all of your friends start turning cold

[Verse 2]
Plug me in, don't send me up to thе sky
Because I am not ready to diе
I can't remember your name
But baby just the same
It was kind of you to drop on by

[Chorus]
Hey, what's the deal, have I lost my mind?
I can't seem to recall the times
They must've passed me by like a long train ride
When I was heading through the country again
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, and it's hard growing old
When all of your friends start turning cold
Oh, man, sure looks tough, now everything is hurting
And every sign of life feels like a burden

[Instrumental Interlude]
Okay, come on, come on, alright

[Bridge]
You won't see those headlights coming
When you're taking your hand off of the wheel
I know that peace has always been something
You never thought you'd get to feel

[Outro]
But I gotta tell you, I got this really funny feeling
When I see the curtain closing over your head
It makes me wanna die
