| It comes as a shock and I don’t know | 
| Where the hell did my life go? | 
| I planted a tree and look at it now | 
| It’s big and half dead and I’m thinkin' | 
| Wow, time is slippin' away | 
| Now sometimes I feel half my age | 
| Then I look in the mirror | 
| I’m just like the old coaches that I see | 
| I’m lookin' at them and they’re lookin' at me | 
| And all of a sudden we’re the old farts in our town | 
| But I won’t complain with all I’ve done, that’s all I know | 
| Workin' out in the mornin' sun, havin' a go | 
| I feel like thankin' something for what I see | 
| So I thank the stars for shining down on me | 
| I can’t handle the heat these days | 
| So I find the shade like and old dog | 
| I have a pair they say and I’m just lazy | 
| I get a bit more done in the evening when it’s cool | 
| But I won’t complain with all I’ve done, that’s all I know | 
| Workin' out in the mornin' sun, havin' a go | 
| I feel like thankin' something for what I see | 
| So I thank the stars for shining down on me | 
| I always see the brighter side of life | 
| Sometimes drives others mad | 
| I’ve found good friends and lost a love or two | 
| But life is short, it’s what you do | 
| And you don’t get far being too careful | 
| But I won’t complain with all I’ve done, that’s all I know | 
| Workin' out in the mornin' sun, havin' a go | 
| I feel like thankin' something for what I see | 
| So I thank the stars for shining down on me | 
| Yeah, it comes as a shock and I don’t know | 
| Where the hell did my life go? | 
| I planted a tree and look at it now | 
| It’s big and half dead and I’m thinkin' | 
| Wow, time is slippin' away | 
| Yeah, time is slippin' away |
