Lyrics
'Over the Hill' © words and music by Mark S. Ludes (MSL)
Younger generation says, 'Man that guy is getting old'
'And look how that women's hair is turning gray'
Be careful what you talk about - if you're gonna be so bold
'Cos every one of us - gets older every day.
V.1
Well we're all getting older, every single day
Everybody says 'just take a pill.'
Don't like to think about it, don't care what they have to say,
And now they're telling me "I'm over the hill".
V.2
Can you tell me what the heck they're talkin' about. Tell me just what's over the hill.
Is it some kind of home away from home?
Where the grass is always greener and where you go to find some thrills.
Guess you gotta make it to the top, before you know.
Well...
Chorus:
Over the hill I go, I'll take that little trip.
Just put me out to pasture and hand me my pink slip.
Over the hill let the minutes tick away,
What the heck, whose life is this anyway?
Bridge:
Younger generation says, 'Man that guy is getting old'
'And look how that women's hair is turning gray'
Be careful what you talk about - if you're gonna be so bold
'Cos every one of us - gets older every day.
Repeat Chorus: So...
Over the hill I go, I'll take that little trip.
Just put me out to pasture and hand me my pink slip.
Over the hill let those minutes tick away,
What the heck, whose life is this anyway?
Who's life, is this anyway?
