I graduated high school without much celebration.
I went straight on to work and started college in the Fall.
I graduated college and went straight on to work the next Fall.
Today I graduated middle age and went straight back to work.
I think this "senior" year I'm going to celebrate.
Hey, after all I get all the senior discounts now,
At every restaurant, retail store and amusement park,
From here clear back to Texas and beyond.
From here on out I really do believe I know it all,
Or at least more than all you "young people" put together.
And maybe now I'll have some time to celebrate each day,
So long as I wake up on the green side of the grass.
