Things I Can't Control

(album: Compadres - 2023)

I can't change the weather, so I don't even check
If it's hot, I hit the AC, if it's raining I get wet
I used to cuss those red lights for making me run late
Now I take a deep breath, turn the music up, and wait

I'll get there when I get there
Hope we all get there all right
I've loosened up my grip a little bit on this old life
It's kinda like the ocean, just gotta let it roll
I'm learning not to worry 'bout the things I can't control, yeah

I started caring less about what other people say
And what may come tomorrow, what I did yesterday
Hope I see 100, 'fore the angels fly me home
All I know is I'll have a good time 'til it's my time to go

I'll get there when I get there
Hope we all get there all right
I've loosened up my grip a little bit on this old life
It's kinda like the ocean, just gotta let it roll
I'm learning not to worry 'bout the things I can't control

Little more check, little less hurry
Little more love, a little less worry
What I don't stress about can't hurt me
Just let the music play
Let it play

Oh, yeah

Hey

Oh, I'll get there when I get there
Hope we all get there all right
I've loosened up my grip a little bit on this old life
It's kinda like the ocean, just gotta let it roll
I'm learning not to worry 'bout the things I can't control
I'm learning not to worry 'bout the things I can't control, yeah

I can't make the sun shine
I can't make the parking lot find an empty spot
Let the music play
I can drink another beer, think of happiness
I can give thanks any more I do
Let the music
Let the music play
