I think I'll take a moment celebrate my age End 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 In 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 doin' here in my next thirty years For 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
