Full Steam Lyrics

I think of this song referring to a couple who spent their whole lives preparing for retirement, not enjoying the moment since they thought they would when retirement came, only realize when they reached retirement, it was wasn't what they figured it would be. Along the way they were noticing it was likely not going to be anything great but they didn't do anything to change because life stayed busy.
