Adam is talking about being old and finally saying goodbye to the things that once made us feel we're young. So he used the hair as a pun. (When we get old, our hair turns white and eventually fall.) But at the same time, he says that it shouldn't end there if we don't want it after all. That is why he used the word "toupee" in the following verse. Toupee is a wig. As the person in the song is getting bald due to old age, toupee could mean a second chance/continuation of the story. So what the song advocates is to appreciate whatever we have and enjoy when we still have time; AND if God allows us, let us face our mistakes in the past and make things right now. The closing part says that if we have something to share, let others learn from us - from our mistakes.
I just gotta add: "To pay or not to pay" and "toupee or not toupee" because it gives space for a chance to change or not to change. It's like "what? are you fucking making things right or not?" It's all about enjoying what we have, making wrong things right, and be willing to do it.
