lyrics

Broke my finger on the court
now patience is my last resort
Lost my temper don't know what for
waiting is the hardest sport

I ain't much use from behind the arc
can't play the way the young kids play
But we'll light it up until the lights go dark
Ball is life just like the young kids say

I'm keeping my ankles in braces I'm keeping my
fingers taped together
Feel my age in unfamiliar places
but I can't complain

Brian steps up to challenge me
he says mister you know I heard
you're kinda nice with that old school style
jump shot look like Larry Bird

Now game's to fifteen we're tied at four
trying to forget the score

I'm keeping my ankles in braces I'm keeping my
fingers taped together
Feel my age in unfamiliar places
but I can't complain
and I can't complain
