Golden Years

it's been awhile so i think i'll ring up
ive got some things that i want to bring up
its been awhile since we added things up
so ??? and we'll see what springs up
it took us ages to know
just where we were
and what happened last night's a complete blur
you must have acted liked like some ???
cause i woke up thinking damn i dont need her

and i saw my way through my younger days too underpaid
and i drank my way through my twenties all the money's gone
and i slept my way through my thirties ???
and its all gone my golden years so hold them dear

and there's this feeling that ive been catching
from some young girl that's oh so fetching
she's got me stammering, stumbling, stretching
???
and will i ever recover my senses
???
it's all a ???? my defenses
the drinks arent killing me but the suspense is

and i saw my way through my younger days too underpaid
and i drank my way through my twenties all the money's gone
and i slept my way through my thirties ???
and its all gone my golden years so hold them dear

and i forgot you grew up just like me
we took the first of life so lightly
and im not sure but i think you might be
the very last thing i think of nightly
its in my skin and my bones it gets stronger
that i cant put up with this for much longer
i speak in dulcet tones just to calm her
cause shes got everything that i long for

and i saw my way through my younger days too underpaid
and i drank my way through my twenties all the money's gone
and i slept my way through my thirties ???
and its all gone my golden years so hold them dear

I dont ever want to go back again, back again
