I Just Turned 55

Sometimes I write songs, but sometimes I write parodies. I’ve written a few since high school, just for fun. The idea comes to me and it usually goes pretty easily. This one came to me recently, I have no idea where the idea came from though. ?

**I Just Turned 55**

One foot on the brake, and one on the gas, hey
There’s so much traffic, driving past me
So I tried my best to get outta the way
I saw lots of middle fingers and heard honking all day

Go on and pass me doin’ 65
I may be old but I’m still alive
Suspend my license, check my eyes
I just turned 55, oh no, ow

So I’m tryin’ to exit number 24, hey
But I can’t wait any more, huh
I was getting passed left and right
At this rate, I’ll be stuck here all night
But damn, I gotta pee

Pass me doin’ 65
I may be old but I’m still alive
Suspend my license, check my eyes
I just turned 55

(I just turned 55)
(I just turned 55)
(I just turned 55)
(I just turned) 55, ow!

When I drive on the road, you know it’s hard to see
And I have to stop all the time just to pee
What used to take two hours now takes all day
Huh, it took me 16 hours to get to L.A.

Go on and pass me doin’ 65
I may be old but I’m still alive
Suspend my license, check my eyes
I just turned 55

Oh no, no, I just turned (I just turned 55)
I just turned (I just turned 55)
(I just turned 55)
(I just turned 55)
