Tried to round the corner at forty
Hit the brakes a little too late
No time to look back now though
The ambulance will have to wait

That's my story
And I'm sticking to it
That's the plan anyway

An incident of such mild proportions
Leaves a mark that's more than skin deep
Vanity can be so expensive
Apathy comes awfully cheap

That's my story
And I'm sticking to it
That's the plan anyway
That's the plan anyway

You get one chance to make it
The good old-fashioned way
But it's as hard as a brick wall
I'm not afraid to go down singing
A sad old lonely song
I'm just a bard, afterall

You get one chance to make it
The good old-fashioned way
But it's as hard as a brick wall
I'm not afraid to go down singing
A sad old lonely song
I'm just a bard, afterall

You're not entitled to angst when you're forty
I tell myself it's been a good run
Prop my feet at the end of the day
Fold my arms and defiantly say

That's my story
And I'm sticking to it
That's the plan anyway
That's the plan anyway
