                               G                           C 
Young men's hope are dashed to Hell, it's hard to earn a dime 
                                           G                                 Am 
They're kicking their heels, revving their wheels, searching for better times 
                        G 
Me, I'm kicking into my prime 
                                 C    G   C 
'Cause I was born at the right time

Old men's thoughts are in the past, their future holds no store 
                                 G                         Am 
Their lives are left in tatters, fighting someone else's war 
                       G 
I wasn't party to that crime 
                                 C 
'Cause I was born at the right time 

 
                             G 
Now I'm living on the coastline 
                        C 
I got up from the breadline 
                            F 
Now I'm drinking the good wine 
                          C 
Go fishing in the summertime 
                            G 
Sleep all day if I have a mind 
                                 C    G 
'Cause I was born at the right time 
                               C 
Yes, I was born at the right time

                        G                                     C 
I want no part of being young, don't want the wisdom of a sage 
                                  G                              Am 
While there are songs still to be sung, new words to grace the page 
                        G 
A better age I'll never find 
                                 C 
'Cause I was born at the right time 


                                 G

                                F                    Am 
And so while wishing that we'll all see better days 
                          F             G  Am 
My secret feeling is, I'm happy in my ways 
         G                  F 
An inner smile comes on me, thinking of the past 
    C 
But I won't sigh for days gone by 
Am               G  C 
Now is where I'm at___
