lyrics

She said, "You're late for dinner
Not getting any thinner.
What's with all the gray hair? Can't you see
You're no longer young and spry?"
That I can't deny but
I'm doing what I want to

I'm playing in this band
Have some awesome fans
Why is it you say I need a plan?
I'm drinking with the guys
Telling youthful lies
And doing what I want to

I can't stand still and just let dreams fade away

'Cause all my life I just want to have fun
But you say there's a rat race to run
Yes, The Clock is still ticking away
Gotta go there's a lot left to play

Feet hitting the pavement
Working just to pay rent
Everything is more than meets the eye
You say your clever saying
Every day delaying
Doing what you want to

Can’t you see I’m trying
Won't you stop your prying?
I can do more than you think I can
A tour has been booked
Now with you I'm off the hook
I'm doing what I want to

I can't stand still and let you get in the way

'Cause all my life I just want to have fun
But you say there's a rat race to run
Yes, The Clock is still ticking away
Gotta go there's a lot left to play

I can't stand still and just let time slip away

'Cause all my life I just want to have fun
But you say there's a rat race to run
Yes, The Clock is still ticking away
Gotta go there's a lot left to play

Oh, all my life I just want to have fun
But you say there's a rat race to run
Yes, The Clock is still ticking away
Gotta go there's a lot left to play

Oh, we gotta go now
Yeah, we gotta go now
Oh, we gotta go now
Yeah, we gotta go now
Come on, let's go
