50 Years Too Late

(albüm: The Optimystic - 2022)

I like Spring and dogs and rusty screen doors
Candle Light on creaky wood floors
A good sunrise and fireflies in a jar (yes)
A banjo ringing through the pines
The way I feel on homemade wine
And drunk fishing under a sky full of stars

Well I'm ok, yes I'm just fine
Just wish the world would move slower or that I could go back in time

Well I'm just downhome southern
Lord I don't need nothing
Just enough to get me by
I was raised at a early age, when you shake a man's hand you look him square in the eye
I'm a real cool old school
Don't you lie to me fool
There ain't a damn thing about me fake (nah)
I'm a modern day John Wayne
Got my daddy's last name
Born 50 Years Too Late
Yeppa

Whatever happened to a honest days work
Sweating your ass off in a flannel shirt
It's a fast paced rat race
Just no tellin who's gonna finish first
Now days its safe to say that a damn dog got more rights
Cause the administration tryna rule this population
Folks we gotta stand up, we gotta fight
But I don't complain
I take it all in stride
Just seems this old word it has changed
Almost over Night

Well I'm just downhome southern
Lord I don't need nothing
Just enough to get me by
I was raised at a early age, when you shake a man's hand you look him square in the eye
I'm a real cool old school
Don't you lie to me fool
There ain't a damn thing about me fake (nah)
I'm a modern day John Wayne
Got my daddy's last name
Born 50 Years Too Late
Yaaaaa

Born 50 Years Too Late

Just downhome southern
Lord I don't need nothing
Just enough to get me by
I was raised at a early age, when you shake a man's hand you look him square in the eye
I'm a real cool old school
Don't lie to me fool
There ain't a damn thing about me fake (no sir)
I'm a modern day John Wayne
Got my daddy's last name
Born 50 Years Too Late
HAH
