lyrics

10/12 hours a day, electric railway
the motorcar i operate is under my control
with a baby on the way,
should i laugh and celebrate?
or should i be afraid?
i’m told i’m far too old
what was i thinking of?
oh, Anna, no… i’m still in love
just scared
and ill-prepared

--- lyrics added to final version, not on demo ---
I need a little break
I’m pulling on the brake
Slow down for goodness sake
Get under my control
Give me some time to think
Maybe something to drink
You’re due in just a week
I’m told I’m far too old
---

i’m old enough to be her grandpa
i’m old enough to be her grandpa
i’m old enough to be her grandpa
but i’ll be her dad
i’m old enough to be her grandpa
i’m old enough to be her grandpa
i’m old enough to be her grandpa
someday she’ll be sad

what was i thinking of?
oh, Anna, no… i’m still in love
just scared
and ill-prepared
with a baby on the way
should i laugh and celebrate
10/12 times a day
i’m told i’m far too old
