Intro
Verse 1
I think I'll take a moment
to celebrate my age
the ending of era
and the turning of a page
now its time to focus in on
where I go from here
ÊÊ
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years
Verse 2
Hey my next thirty years
I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
maybe now I conquered all my adolence fears
and I'll do it better in my next thirty years
Chorus 1
My next thirty years I'm gonna settle all the scores
cry a little less, laugh a little more
find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
figure out just what I'm doing here
In my next thirty years
Guitar/organ solo (use chords to chorus except D/F# remains Em)
Verse 3
Oh my next thirty years
I'm gonna watch my weight
eat a few more salads
and not stay up so late
drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
(chuckle) maybe I'll remember my next thirty years
Chorus 2
My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
raise a little family and hang out with my wife
spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
make up for lost time here
in my next thirty years
