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
 And 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 spinning
 As my young body ached I wished for an old man's vision
 And I watched the way he moved
 Slow, serene, and lucky to be alive
 Thought to myself i'm never gonna make it that far
 With too many more nights like last night
 I'd rather be 75 and sunny
 Than 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 living 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
 She's got religion
 She's a one women dynamo and lights up every room she goes too
 She says the light thats there wont go nowhere noway
 She don't spend every second smiling
 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 than new as any 9 dollar bottle of wine
 Or to be through at 35 momma stoned with her back to the wind
 You better believe she's living for the moment
 But her moment is the whole damn thing
 I see these spin kids
 Double wide eye'd and rollin' and rollin' and tumbling
 And they're roaming in inches
 Taken the high dive approach and screamin' towards the water
 Their hearts race a million miles
 As they buy another smile from a jar
 Their 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 every 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 living for the moment
 But my moment sums up the whole 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 has been coming 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'
 But I'm excited for everyday
 Cause I'd rather be 75 and sunny
 Than 29 with a chance of showers all the time
 I'd rather be older and in the way
 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 living for the moment but my moment
 You better believe I'm living for the moment but these moments
 You better believe I'm living for the moment
 But my moments growin' bigger by and by, by and by
