There’s only so many years
There’s only one way you can go now
Look down at your shoes and you’ll see old man shoes
And all of your sorrows
They don’t stand a chance in hell, no
What with all of your friends, don’t they count at all?
Gonna raise you up
Set you down at the top of the hill
Gonna let you slide
Laughing like a child, we’ll raise you higher still
Swinging low, well that was just a disguise
Now you’re all on the rise
So if you’re under-employed
Just remember that it ain’t no sin
The question will always be “Hey, what else have you got to show”
So say goodbye to your hideaway
Say goodbye to what you used to call home
What more can I say?
What else have you got to lose?
Gonna raise you up
Set you down at the top of the hill
Gonna let you slide
Laughing like a child, we’ll raise you higher still
Swinging low, well that was just a disguise
Now you’re all on the rise
