Thirty

(album: Born Ready - 2018)

Well they don't slide a twenty in your birthday card no more
And there's a 50/50 shots you'll have a cake
We're throwing down the night, some of us stay out late
But some of us have babies on the way

Too old to die young
Too young to slow down
Still got a lot to learn
Some would say I've been around
Probably missed my chance by now
To be an astronaut
But I've still got a lot of fire left to burn
At thirty years on earth

I'm catching up to my dad
He's gonna turn sixty this May
And for once he's twice as old as I am now
I bought a car without a cosign when my premium went down
But I still like to blow those speakers out

Now that I'm too old to die young
But too young to slow down
Still got a lot to learn
Some would say I've been around
Probably missed my chance by now
To be an astronaut
And I've still got a lot of fire left to burn
At thirty years on earth

I've beat up this guitar
It still don't look like Willie Nelsons
But with any luck I'll get it there some day
I got a little piece of land then I bought a girl a diamond
You know, the more I think about it I'm okay

Getting too old to die young
Too young to slow down
There's some things you just can't talk me into now
So what if I missed my chance
To be an astronaut?
And I've still got a lot of fire left to burn
At thirty years on earth
Oh yeah, thirty years on earth
Now, now, now, yeah
Thirty years on earth
