Broke Down and Busted

Pushing through life uphill, backwards in a wagon Hitting the brakes downhill and my feet are dragging I get to the bottom and I’m broke down and busted I’m feeling old, like my bones are rusted Getting old sucks, and life’s not worth living When the light comes for me, I’m going to heaven Can’t wait for that day But I’ve got something to say You see, it’s not where I’m at, it’s what I am And I am not the negative you thought Getting older is a gift, it’s a plan And facing those later years is a future I’ve bought Long ago, I made up my mind That getting older will not be unkind That it’s the way I face it That it’s the way I’ll live it So broke down and busted is not going to be me I plan to live to be old, and to live healthily The food I eat will not destroy me And the people I know will not annoy me And the life I live will not betray me And the time I’ve got left will not delay me I’ll be living it to the extreme Where I never struggle going upstream Where life’s moments are all to be enjoyed Where life’s happiness is never destroyed
