Verse 1
The first of the year seems like a perfect time to throw this shit away.
We had a damn fine spring this year
This summer I’m gonna BBQ like it’s 1999

Pre-Chorus
I decided that I’d stay young as long as I could

Verse 2
Momtaz brought me my favorite sapphire gin
I bought my first lightsaber at age 29
It was good to see Kennedy back from the war
The ladies started showing more skin than ever before

Pre-Chorus

Chorus
I still want to learn to shine my shoes
Will I lose another grandmother soon?
I see my life every single day, I felt it’s where I wanted to stay
Say yes, say no, adopt a stray

Verse 3
Life was good in Minnesota: the Packers lost again
But, I heard a woman sobbing in the ladies room
It’s only been a month but I miss the man in black
Did I waste another summer in front of a Mac?

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Bridge
This bridge I dedicate to my old lady.
She flew me all the way to Cleveland.
Why in the hell are we going to Cleveland?
Cause the heart of rock & roll, heart of rock & roll is still beating… in Cleveland.

Verse 4
My favorite Clarks got me through another year
I’ll pray for Michael Jackson for a long, long, time.
By new years being 30 wasn’t so bad
I still didn’t bbq as much as I wanted to

Pre-Chorus
Chorus
