I look in the mirror,
And what I see
Is a stranger looking back at me

But at least he survived, should be thankful for that

'Cause he ain't got nine lives like the proverbial cat

So he's hung up his boots

And his clubs gather dust

They're no use to him now his body is bust

Each day is a struggle

It's not much of a life

And 2 beautiful sons so
