| Came home from tour, it has been two month, I know
|
| The summer is passing, I’m looking heavier, I know
|
| Lay down on my bed I look down, my God my belly looks like Play-Doh
|
| I’m almost fifty, I guess it’s just the way life goes
|
| Yesterday I got back into my better exercise routine
|
| Laid off carbs, walked a few miles, I wanna be healthy and grow old
|
| I wanna look good to you the way you look good to me
|
| But I ain’t twenty-five anymore, it’s hard, it’s just the way life goes
|
| Turned on the TV and I saw on the news that in Japan a man stabbed to death
|
| nineteen people who were handicapped
|
| My mind can’t wrap itself around these things anymore, it’s just the way life
|
| goes for some right down the fucking toilet bowl
|
| I love my friends, P. S. friends the ones who love you back and most of all it’s
|
| my family and you and your dog and your cat
|
| Some have moved on and went down very different paths
|
| I guess it’s just the way it’s just the way it’s just the it’s just the way
|
| life goes
|
| Fog horns kept me up all night, you were beside me, I laid awake with jetlag
|
| and I tried to write
|
| Talked on the phone to my foreign concert promoters, the cyclical way of life
|
| is a repetitive motor
|
| When I’m fifty next year, I’m gonna try to pick my punches
|
| Listen to my soul and try to trust my hunches
|
| My body’s telling me, that it’s time to slow them
|
| My creative calling will never stop going
|
| Got me a house in the mountains and we rarely go
|
| In this summer cause I’m always on the road
|
| If I’m lucky at Christmas time we catch a glimpse to the Christmas snow
|
| It’s just the way life goes
|
| It’s the best part of the year, the glow of Christmas
|
| The smell of turkey and stuff and watching movies and the candles flickering
|
| I watch The Shining every Christmas religiously and A Christmas Story plays for
|
| twenty-four hours on TNT
|
| Next year gonna try to spend some more time with you be the man I like to be
|
| and that’s a better man to you
|
| What’s the year of for once my garden out there in the mountains will stay alive
|
| The disappointment is about where I stopped the song a few weeks ago
|
| Then I left for Buenos Aires, got a bad cough on the flight over
|
| Now I’m laying in bed the hotel classical, got a decent nice sleep and tonight
|
| is my show
|
| Gonna kill that guy due every time when this life wants and when I write, Baby,
|
| I write
|
| Gonna sing my songs and be back to you in a short time but I stop in New
|
| Orleans first, but I’m telling you, Baby, when I get home, we gonna be just
|
| fine
|
| Sometimes when I’m alone in my thoughts, there is a war going on and my stomach
|
| is in knots
|
| A lot of times on stuck on planes alone in my thoughts, wondering what the
|
| right thing is and what is not
|
| Today I was alone in my thoughts, walked along the sidewalk, where this year
|
| Will Smith was shot
|
| Will Smith the New Orleans saint, stupid, not the fucking actor,
|
| who were all times an inch away from playing a disaster
|
| And of course I come back and I turn on the news
|
| Look what happened up in Baton Rouge
|
| The whole city is under the fucking waters as far as my cough and my travel was,
|
| gonna quit my bitchin'
|
| Tonight I’m alone in my thoughts and at peace with myself, the choices I made
|
| and all the books and CDs on my shelf
|
| Should have spent some hurts and sadness along the way
|
| But I think of my friends, who have passed every single God damn day
|
| And Caroline, your support and your love means so much to me
|
| Every great man has a great woman behind him, who gives him strength and
|
| freedom to be the man, he is set out to be being
|
| I love you baby forever and beyond eternity
|
| I love you baby forever and beyond eternity
|
