LATE NIGHT WITH KUSH, LIVE

Back to Song List

ROCKIN OVER 55

 

Rob is bald and Henry's cold

And Marc just needs a breather.

They're looking hard for answers

But they don't have them either.

They're well aware of things, of thing,

of things that really matter.

Their tastes have changed

Their lives arranged

They feel they're getting smarter.

 

(chorus)

And they keep their thoughts alive,

Still rocking, rocking after 35.

 

Janie's hair has streaks of gray

And Linda lost her reasons,

They're looking out for harmony

But they don't have it either.

They're well aware of things, of things

of things that really matter.

Their tastes have changed

Their lives arranged

They feel they're getting smarter.

 

(chorus)

And they keep their dreams alive,

Still rocking, rocking after 45.

 

We like to dance, we like to sing

For all the grown up reasons.

We're looking for security

But that won't make it easy.

We're well aware of things, of things,

of things that really matter.

The rules have changed

The world's the same

We think it may get better.

 

And we're keeping our hopes alive,

Still rocking, rocking after 55.
