My Next 25 Years!

So on the last day of my youth I found myself thinking of Tim McGraw's song "my next 30 years" and how well it captures this stage in my life right now. And while I had all the best intentions to cleaverly re-work the lyrics to fit my life pefectly (as I was known to do in my days of youth)... old age set in early and I found myself much too busy watching the weather channel, soaking my feet in epsom salts and organizing my pills in one of those cheap plastic pill containers. (ok, kidding, but i really did freak out the other night when i realized i was alphabetizing my vitamin bottles. true story. lol)

So before my bedtime (oh my word it's almost 10pm! haha) I did post the lyrics below... and if all you (still reading) wouldn't mind substituting in "25" for "thirty" (thank God) and nixing the whole "my wife" thing (sorry ladies) you'd make this senior citizin happier then a day with a good bm. (couldn't resist).

Lyrics:

I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here
In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here ,In my next thirty years

In my next thirty years
