I Never Expected Songtext
von Old Dogs

I never expected to last this long
It caught me completely by surprise

I′d put aside enough to let me live just fine
But I never guessed I'd last past 49
I thought by now my friends would be
Toasting my memory
While the devil roasted my soul
Oh, but it′s just my luck
I outlived my bucks
It's the saddest story ever told
Lord, how could I have got this old?

Hey Mel, you should have bought some stock
Or a piece of the rock
Or a no-risk retirement plan


But instead I invested in all-night bars
Slow dancing ladies and fast moving cars
I thought by now I'd be safe
Resting peaceful in my grave
Due to wine, women, and song
So I made no preparations
For a drawn out situation
How could you have been so wrong?
I never dreamed I′d last this long

Live fast, die young, have a good looking corpse
That′s the motto we live so well

So I played it hard and high
But somehow I didn't die
And I think my corpse is gonna look like hell
And a slight miscalculation
On the date of my expiration
Left me singing this sad, sad song
So buddy, can you spare a quarter?
I′m living longer than I oughta
How could you have been so wrong?

I never thought I'd last this long, oh boy
Never thought you′d last this long
Pass me the Metamucil
Never thought I'd last this long
