When You're 51

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
The sun is settin' on another day,
Lines on my face, memories that stay,
A worn-out cowboy, ridin' this lonesome way,
Wonderin' where the time went astray.

Chorus:
What do you do when you're 51,
And there's no one to share a view,
Your best years are behind you,
And your future you haven't a clue.

Verse 2:
Spent my youth chasin' dreams out on the road,
Lost some friends and found a heavy load,
Now I’m sittin' here, thinkin' 'bout the stories told,
Wonderin' how the years just unfold.

Chorus:
What do you do when you're 51,
And there's no one to share a view,
Your best years are behind you,
And your future you haven't a clue.

Bridge:
Whiskey bottles and old love letters,
A heart full of scars that don't get better,
The road ahead looks like stormy weather,
But I still hope there's somethin' to tether.

Verse 3:
Nights are long, the silence cuts so deep,
Countin' every regret instead of sheep,
Life's a song with a melancholy beat,
Playin' on repeat, incomplete.

Chorus:
What do you do when you're 51,
And there's no one to share a view,
Your best years are behind you,
And your future you haven't a clue.

Outro:
Maybe tomorrow I'll find some peace,
Learn to let the past finally release,
Until then, I’ll keep askin’ on repeat,
What do you do when you're 51...
