75 and Sunny
I had a bad night i mean not so bad i thought i was king of the world and i drank till daylight i mean i never stopped once til my hands finally fell and i fought my daytime self with a mighty dose 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 pigeon's my head was spinnin' as my young body ached i wished for an old man's vision and i watched the way he moved so slow, serene, and lucky to be alive and i thought to myself i'm never gonna make it that far too many nights like last night
I'd rather be 75 and sunny and acting like I'm 17 and freezing again I'd rather be up early in the morning than up late at night again erasin' memory's of where I've been or to be through at 52 someday stone faced and leery eyed you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment's growin' bigger by and by
and i've got a best friend she dont drink or smoke like I've been known too shes got a religion shes a one women dynamo and shinin' 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's learnin' something exciting everyday
she'd rather be 75 and sunny than 29 with a chance of showers all the time she'd rather be old as dirt and new as any 9 dollar bottle of wine or to be through at 35 momma stoned with her back to the win you better believe she's looking for the moment but her moment is the hold damn thing
i see these spin kids double wide eye'd and rollin' and rollin' and tumblin' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com there rollin' in inches taken the high dive approach and screamin' towards the water there hearts race 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 they're 75 and sunny not 29 with a chance flurries all the time i hope we're all old as dirt and not new as any 25 dollar ride that we can try or to be through 35 momma stoned with our backs to the wind you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment sums up the hole damn thing
and i say I'd rather be 75 oh how nice, how easy for me to say I've never broken a bone in my life let alone had my heart or a hip replaced and i keep this furious pace and i still feel so good and strong and i do get tempted for a taste, just a taste to keep me going, going, going, going, gone
But I got a notion that everything I've learned will come around in my devotion to the new thing and the next thing and the hip thing is slowin' down and i got a life in here wont go nowhere noway and i don't spend every second smilin' and i ain't tryin' but I'm excited for today
cause I'd rather be 75 and sunny than 29 with a chance of showers all the time I'd rather be older than the wind then this years new kid runnin' for my life or to be through at 52 someday, stoned faced and leery eyed you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moments growin' bigger by and by by and by
