75 And Sunny

I had a bad night I mean not so bad i thought i was king of the world And i drank til daylight I mean i never stopped once til my hands finally fell And i fought my daytime self with a mighty douse of hey look at the night time me I never do win that battle But i fight it over and over and over and over it seems And i saw an old man Smilin on a park bench feedin the pidgins My head was spinnin As my young body ached i wished for an old man vision And i watched the way he moved slow cerin luck to be alive And i thought to myself i'm never gonna make it that far Too many nights like last night And i rather be 75 and sunny And acting like i was 17 and freezing again I rather be up early in the morning Than up late at night erasin millions where i have been Or to be thru at 52 someday stone faced and gleary eyed You better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment growin bigger by and by And i've got a best friend She dont drink or smoke like i have been known too Shes got a religion Shes a one women dynomo and shine light in every room she goes too She says the light thats there wont go nowhere noway She dont spend every second smilin but she learnin something exciting everyday She rather be 75 and sunny 29 with a chance of showers all the time She rather be old as dirt and new as any 9 dollar bottle of wine Or to be part of 35 momma stoned with her back to the win You better believe she is looking for the moment but her moment is the hold damn thing I see these spin kids Double wide and rollin and rollin and tumblin There rollin in inches Taken the high divin approach and screamin towards the water There hearts are racin a million miles as they buy another smile from a jar There bodies are screamin for the water you know i just hope they make it that far I hope there 75 and sunny And not 29 with a chance flurries all the time I hope we're all old as dirt and not new as any 25 dollar trip that we can try Or to be thru 35 momma stoned with our backs to the wind You better believe i'm lookin for moment but my moment sums up the hole damn thing And i say i rather be 75 Oh how nice oh how easy for me to say I've never broken a bone in my life Or let alone had my heart or a hip replaced And i keep the furious pace and i still feel so good and strong And i still get tempted for a taste just a taste to keep me going and going and going and going an go I got a notion That everything i learn comin around In my devotion to the new thing and the next thing and the hip thing is slowin down And i got a locked in here wont go nowhere noway And i dont spend every second smilin and i aint tryin but i'm excited for everday everyday Cause i rather be75 and sunny 29 with a chance of showers all the time I rather be older than the lake then this years new kid runnin for my life Or to be part of 35 momma stoned faced and gleary eyed You better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment You better believe i'm lookin for the moment but these moments You better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moments growin biger by and by by and by
