Old Enough to Know Better…..

 (Written for Greg Carter's Birthday Challenge)

E, A, BM7

(Notice 32 words in first verse!)

Man your old enough to know better,

Thought by now you’d figure it out.

Man your old enough to know better,

But living is when the little boy gets to come out.

 

Cut your hair and got married,

Banker man owns most of your house.

Mr. Granite Entrepreneur,

Screw it boss; I’m clocking myself out!

 

Cause….

 

(Chorus)

There’s a hill to ride, a mountain to climb, a ball to spike, Kayak ready….

Lawd, I hope the water is high!

Gas on the stove, more Ramon to go, and go, and go…

Giddy-up, who the hell’s growing old!

 

Not that anyone is talking.

No one notices you gray balding head.

Didn’t you used to be taller?

Good for you for dragging your old ass out of bed!

 

But…

 

(Chorus)

There’s a hill to ride, a mountain to climb, a ball to spike, Kayak ready….

Lawd, I hope the water is high!

Gas on the stove, more Ramon to go, and go, and go…

Giddy-up, who the hell’s growing old!

 

Happy birthday to you.  Happy birthday to you.  Happy birthday Granite Entrepreneur.  Happy birthday to you.

 

Man your old enough to know better,                            

Thought by now you’d figure it out.

Man your old enough to know better,

But living is when the little boy gets to come out.

Yea, living is when the little boy gets to come out!
