Golden Years by Bobby Dove

How am I supposed to survive
these raw and exposed veins
how am I to carry on
if I can't numb the pain

I've come so far with blinders on
just kept moving ahead
never stop to turn around
or I might be caught dead

On the track of hobo rails and drunken balladeers
scared to win, afraid to fail
arrested by my fears
maybe if I'm lucky I'll rise above these tears
maybe if I stick around for the golden years

Folks are pairing off
and having kids I'll never meet
their babies are all prodigies
with tiny twinkle feet

They learn to love and laugh so well
at that tender age
why is it their joyful smiles
just set me in a rage

On the track of hobo rails and drunken balladeers
scared to win, afraid to fail
arrested by my fears
maybe if I'm lucky I'll rise above these tears
maybe if make it to my golden years

Picture us out on a farm
with doggies by the dozen
hair all grey but we're okay
with that gentle kind of lovin'

We'll live off he land and go to meat draws
at the legion hall
and if I'm misbehaving
you can set me in a stall

I'll dream of tracks and hobo rails
and drunken balladeers
when I was scared to win, afraid to fail
arrested by my fears
if I keep on swimming through this tidal wave of tears
maybe then I'll make it
to my golden years

Maybe then we can be friends
in our golden years
