The entire song is about consciously deciding to change your life for the better then setting about to do it. Then, the last line in the song is " Forty-six and two are just ahead of me". Your explanation (and mine) makes perfect sense.
Wow.......I stand stunned and amazed. I thought I was the only one. Thanks for letting me know I am not all alone. Doesn't mean I'm not crazy.....but it does mean I'm not alone, LOL!
