Im weary and Im staying up late
And the rain hits my roof so hard
You know Im no longer thirty
These days Im happy to play
One or two hands of cards
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace Ive found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days Im happy to say
Im amazed that Im still around
And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back
Humidity hangs like a curtain
Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
You know Ive still got my eyesight
These days Im happy to see
A sunset instead of a line
And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back
Theres a long list of names
That I dont recall
Even though my memorys good
The rain washed away
The lemons and weeds
When the weight of the world weighed more than it should
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace Ive found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days Im happy to say
Im amazed that Im still around
And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off of my back
