[Verse 1]
My flatmate told me, he said that you'd rung
While I was out celebrating being young
And I was thinkin' while I was drinkin'
I'd like to think I'm an adventurous chicken
I never know when the night has ended
I'm more stupid than God intended
Instead of listening to the don't's, I just do
It's true, it's true, and it's true, I'm not through yet

[Chorus]
I wish I was teenage, yeah
Instead I am your grandad
And I wish I was teenage, yeah
Instead I am, I am, I am your grandad

[Verse 2]
I thought when I reached twenty-seven
I'd be either in hell or heaven
Had a heart attack and went epileptic
Almost prophetic as it was pathetic
I looked grim, shook the cold hand of panic
Said, "have a nice death", but I'm no Titanic
And now I'm riding like the Headless Horseman
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run, yeah
[Chorus]
I wish I was teenage, yeah
Instead I am your grandad
And I wish I was teenage, yeah
Instead I am, I am, I am your grandad

[Bridge]
Living like a teenage grandad, looking rather sad
My way is to be way out there
Living like a teenage grandad, looking rather sad
My way isn't your way out, way out!

[Verse 3]
I never know when the night has ended
Man, I'm more stupid than God intended
And now I'm riding like the Headless Horseman
On the run, on the run, on the run, on the run, yeah

[Chorus]
I wish I was teenage, yeah
Instead I am your grandad
And I wish I was teenage, yeah
Instead I am, I am, I am your grandad

[Bridge]
Living like a teenage grandad, looking rather sad
My way is to be way out there
Living like a teenage grandad, looking rather sad
My way isn't your way out, way out!
