I know I'm not Joni Mitchell, but
I've got a dad who plays like Billy Joel
I know I can't see the whole picture, but
I like to dream about my days of gold

I've got a swimming pool, I like to float on the surface
And think about all of my memories of halt
Oh, those days of old

Twice I sang at the Hollywood Bowl
And my dad plays just like Billy Joel
And I'm young when I'm old
And I'm old when I'm young, when I'm old
At the whims of my heart and my soul

I don't think of myself as special
But I like to live my life colorful and bold

I've got a swimming pool, I like to float on the surface
And think of the stories I've already sold, oh
I've got a feeling, I've got a memory
Why wait for Heaven when I can have Heaven right here
Like I'm told?
Oh, just like I'm told

Twice I sang at the Hollywood Bowl
And my dad plays just like Billy Joel
And I'm young when I'm old
And I'm old when I'm young, when I'm old
And I'll follow wherever you go

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
I've got a swimming pool
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da
I like to float away
Ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
