Over the Hill

29 years and it's over the hill at 30

They got your wheelchair ready

And your hiking boots are not even dirty

Lady luck, a-stepping up beside you greet her

You'll do some climbing together

But then she runs out for somebody younger

There's a shining prize from a carefree day

When the world round was cheering to win

Now daddy who's chairless lets out his belt

And music plays and peace is made for someone else

Over the hill and the bread of the times is yours now

And most deciding

A lot of work and little enjoying

Some along the line get a feeling they have been cheated

Spirit defeated

Young is best is always conceded

There's a shining prize from a carefree day

When the world round was cheering to win

Now daddy who's chairless lets out his belt

And music plays and peace is made for someone else

39 years and the chair is hard to wheel at 40

How would you feel

If you would sit down to roll around at 20

I submit to you my many friends

Better out of tune for there to lend

Good time, everybody in the fold

Got sunshine for everybody young and old

Good time for everybody in the fold

Got sunshine, everybody young and old

Sunshine for everybody in the fold

Got good times for everybody in the fold
