They say life begins at forty,
Age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true,
You know that I've been dead for thirty-nine

And if life begins at forty,
Well I hope it ain't the same
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't wanna to be born again

Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
With a new broom every day
If that don't work,
I'll jerk around until my next birtday

Yeah, life begins at forty
Age is just a state of mind.
Well, if all that's true
You know that I've been dead for thirty-nine
