[00:10.14]
[00:24.96]I'm weary and I'm staying up late
[00:28.22]And the rain hits my roof so hard
[00:32.14]You know I'm no longer thirty
[00:34.64]These days I'm happy to play
[00:37.93]One or two hands of cards
[00:41.10]
[00:43.47][02:50.26]I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
[00:47.12][02:53.82]Disturbing the peace I've found
[00:50.94][02:57.64]Fortune and fame is so fleeting
[00:53.51][03:00.54]These days I'm happy to say
[00:56.24][03:03.43]I'm amazed that I'm still around
[00:59.56]
[01:01.82][01:46.58][03:08.63]And the weight of the world
[01:03.65][01:48.41][03:10.49]is off my back
[01:05.58][01:50.41][03:12.37]When we fell, we got up
[01:07.25][01:52.01][03:14.08]And crawled out the cracks
[01:09.62][01:54.20][03:16.31]Excuse me if I take some
[01:11.80][01:55.98][03:18.42]comfort in that
[03:35.26][01:59.00][03:19.91][01:13.36]Happy today,happy to play
[03:42.23][03:27.19][02:05.02][01:20.34]With the weight of the world
[01:22.90][02:07.57][03:29.68][03:44.74]off of my back
[01:26.51]
[01:28.42]Humidity hangs like a curtain
[01:31.65]Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
[01:35.57]You know I've still got my eyesight
[01:38.31]These days I'm happy to see
[01:41.18]A sunset instead of a line
[01:44.23]
[02:13.00]There's a long list of names
[02:14.77]That I don't recall
[02:16.58]Even though my memory's good
[02:20.27]The rain washed away
[02:22.16]The lemons and weeds
[02:23.91]When the weight of the world
[02:25.94]weighed more than it should
[02:31.41]
