Randy Stonehill - Turning Thirty lyrics

rate me

I'VE GOT A HOUSE DOWN BY THE OCEAN

THE RENT IS NOT TOO HIGH

AND I LOVE TO WATCH THE SHIPS COME IN

AND HEAR THE SEAGULLS CRY

AND LATELY I'VE BEEN TAKING STOCK

OF ALL THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH

OH TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY

FEELS FUNNY BUT IT'S TRUE

I'M TURNING THIRTY

NOW I'VE GOT A WIFE WHO REALLY LOVES ME

SHE MAKES MY LIFE SO SWEET

AND A LITTLE BABY DAUGHTER

WHO PLAYS GAMES AROUND MY FEET

AND MY WORLD IS VERY DIFFERENT

FROM LOST LAZY BACHELOR YEARS

BUT IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO GO BACK

I'D RATHER STAY RIGHT HERE

TURNING THIRTY

AND I HAVE FRIENDS WHO CARE ABOUT ME

THEY'RE THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD

AND THEY ALWAYS STOOD BEHIND ME

WHENEVER TIMES GOT BAD

AND I LOVE TO PLAY MY MUSIC

THOUGH THE ROAD CAN BE AT TRIAL

BUT EVERY TIME I WALK ON STAGE

IT'S WORTH EACH DUSTY MILE

TURNING THIRTY

WELL, NOW THIRTY AIN'T LIKE FIFTEEN

AND IT'S NOT LIKE TWENTY-FIVE

MY BACK'S A LITTLE STIFF

AND THERE'RE SOME LINES AROUND MY EYES

BUT I'VE STILL GOT MY ENERGY

AND I'VE GOT MOST OF MY HAIR

AND I'M NOT TOO OLD TO ROCK 'N ROLL

AND I'M NOT REALLY SCARED

OF TURNING THIRTY

I WROTE THIS SONG EIGHT YEARS AGO

MY, HOW TIME FLIES AND SO DO I

OH, THE NINETIES LOOK LIKE TOUGH TIMES

THE WORLD IS TURNING SOUR

SO I'LL KEEP ON SERVING JESUS

AND AWAIT THE FINAL HOUR

AND THOUGH I'VE OFTEN FAILED HIM

IN THESE THIRTY ROCKY YEARS

HIS MERCY BROUGHT ME THIS FAR

AND HIS LOVE HAS DRIED MY YEARS

I'M TURNING THIRTY

I'LL TREASURE THESE YEARS

I'M TURNING THIRTY

I'LL TREASURE THESE YEARS TURNING THIRTY
