I always thought I would win
I always thought I’d be a righteous terror
I always thought everyone loved me
I always thought I’d marry Miss America
I always thought I was a super hero
Buff rough and tough full of vim and vigor
I always thought I was a handsome man
Till I looked into a full-length mirror
Oh my God! what do I see?
Who is this dude looking back at me?
It ain’t the same person in my dreams
I must be crazy - I could be insane
I always thought I’d excel in the game
I always thought I would catch one from Peyton
I always thought I’d be acquainted with fame
Then along came a 50 celebration
I never thought I would ever get old
Wear a wedding ring and do what I’m told
I never thought about the price you pay
For the privilege of being old and gray
