I'm weary and I'm staying up late
And the rain hits my roof so hard
You know I'm no longer thirty

These days I'm happy to play
One or two hands of cards
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing

Disturbing the peace I've found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days I'm happy to say

I'm amazed that I'm 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 I've still got my eyesight

These days I'm 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


There's a long list of names
That I don't recall

Even though my memory's 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 I've found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days I'm happy to say

I'm amazed that I'm 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
