Met this wrinkled man in line
Broken down by father time
Voodoo donuts, steak, and wine
Heart condition with every beat
From years and years of salty meats
Or was it endless jugs of mead
The party life, and wild crowds
The music he played way too loud
That aged and wore his body out
A special woman who drove him mad
A day without her he couldn't stand
And into the sunset, held her hand
When I looked behind those eyes
I could see these words of advice
No one gets to try life twice
Met a sweet old lady at the booth
here to celebrate year sixty-two
young at heart was her gospel truth
Her smile told a thousand tales
of kids, beaches, and mountain trails
she spoke of a man who never failed
to make her laugh and dance with joy
she knew he was the real McCoy
their love no force on earth destroy
But father time knows not defeat
and years and years of salty meats
or was it endless jugs of mead
that took her champion far away
as her smile cracked she had this to say
if you want to live you best not delay
