WHEN I'M 44, I WILL WALK OUT OF THE DOOR
I WILL LEAVE THIS BORING HOMETOWN, YES I'M SURE
WHEN I'M 45, I WILL KNOW HOW TO DRIVE
ALL KIND OF WOMEN, GIRLS AND LADIES
WHEN I'M 46, I WILL LEAVE THOSE BLOODY CHICKS
AND WHEN I'M 47, I'LL TAKE THE LONELY ROAD TO HEAVEN

WHEN I'M 48, I WILL CLOSE THIS HEAVY GATE
AND I WILL NEVER OPEN MY DOORS TO YOU
AND WHEN I'M 49, I FEEL LIKE LOSIN' ALL MY TIME
AND EVERY ROSE IS FADIN' FAR AWAY
WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, MY FIRE'S BURNIN' COLD
AND NO ONE LONGER HERE TO HOLD

WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, EVERYTHING I TOLD IS FORGOTTEN AND FORGIVEN
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO HOLD
WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, EVERYTHING I TOLD IS FORGOTTEN AND FORGIVEN
SUMMER'S TURNIN' COLD

WHEN HE'S 83, HE'S FALLIN' ON HIS KNEE
PRAYIN' TO THE LORD FOR MERCY TO GET FREE
WHEN I'M 89, I'M LOOKIN' FOR A HOME TO FIND
I WANNA REST IN PEACE, SO LORD I'M FALLIN' ON MY KNEES

WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, EVERYTHING I TOLD IS FORGOTTEN AND FORGIVEN
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO HOLD
WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, EVERYTHING I TOLD IS FORGOTTEN AND FORGIVEN
SUMMER'S TURNIN' COLD
WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, EVERYTHING I TOLD IS FORGOTTEN AND FORGIVEN
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO HOLD
WHEN I'M GETTIN' OLD, EVERYTHING I TOLD IS FORGOTTEN AND FORGIVEN
SUMMER'S TURNIN' COLD

WHEN I'M 44, I WILL WALK OUT OF THE DOOR
I WILL LEAVE THIS BORING HOMETOWN, YES I'M SURE
