My Next Thirty Years
Tim McGraw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Endin' of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord, have mercy on my next thirty years
In my next thirty years, I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next thirty years
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 doin' here in my next thirty years
Here we go
Alright
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, huh
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years
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
In my next thirty years
Oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright
Ah, here we go boys
