When You're 51

Verse 1: The sun is settin' on another day, Lines on my face, memories that stay, A worn-out cowboy, ridin' this lonesome way, Wonderin' where the time went astray. Chorus: What do you do when you're 51, And there's no one to share a view, Your best years are behind you, And your future you haven't a clue. Verse 2: Spent my youth chasin' dreams out on the road, Lost some friends and found a heavy load, Now I’m sittin' here, thinkin' 'bout the stories told, Wonderin' how the years just unfold. Chorus: What do you do when you're 51, And there's no one to share a view, Your best years are behind you, And your future you haven't a clue. Bridge: Whiskey bottles and old love letters, A heart full of scars that don't get better, The road ahead looks like stormy weather, But I still hope there's somethin' to tether. Verse 3: Nights are long, the silence cuts so deep, Countin' every regret instead of sheep, Life's a song with a melancholy beat, Playin' on repeat, incomplete. Chorus: What do you do when you're 51, And there's no one to share a view, Your best years are behind you, And your future you haven't a clue. Outro: Maybe tomorrow I'll find some peace, Learn to let the past finally release, Until then, I’ll keep askin’ on repeat, What do you do when you're 51...
