Never too late?

Beginning of a song. Unfortunately it is based on reality. It’s past midnight and my brain and body are fried.

They say it’s never too late
To try something new
Well that’s a cool thought
And I agree, yes I do.

Wanted a change of pace
So I moved somewhere new
Started a new job
And I love it, yes I do.

But the old adage doesn’t ring true
When it comes to real time
I may have a new life
But my energy level declined.

I work all day
Might go out at night
Listen to live music
I feel so alive

Until the next morning
When my alarm goes off
What the hell was I thinking
My body is shot.

The old adage doesn’t ring true
When it comes to real time
I may have a new life
But my energy level has declined.

There’s an inverse relationship
Between my age and my hips.
I try to stay active, body and mind,
My joints sound like a metronome keeping time.
