Lyrics: Ryan Montbleau. 75 And Sunny.

I had a bad night
i mean not so bad i thought i was king of the world
and i drank til daylight
i mean i never stopped once til my hands finally fell
and i fought my daytime self with a mighty douse of hey look at the night time me
i never do win that battle
but i fight it over and over and over and over it seems

and i saw an old man
smilin on a park bench feedin the pidgins
my head was spinnin
as my young body ached i wished for an old man vision
and i watched the way he moved slow cerin luck to be alive
and i thought to myself i'm never gonna make it that far
too many nights like last night

and i rather be 75 and sunny
and acting like i was 17 and freezing again
i rather be up early in the morning
than up late at night erasin millions where i have been
or to be thru at 52 someday stone faced and gleary eyed
you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment growin bigger by and by

and i've got a best friend
she dont drink or smoke like i have been known too
shes got a religion
shes a one women dynomo and shine light in every room she goes too
she says the light thats there wont go nowhere noway
she dont spend every second smilin but she learnin something exciting everyday

she rather be 75 and sunny
29 with a chance of showers all the time
she rather be old as dirt and new as any 9 dollar bottle of wine
or to be part of 35 momma stoned with her back to the win
you better believe she is looking for the moment but her moment is the hold damn thing

i see these spin kids
double wide and rollin and rollin and tumblin
there rollin in inches
taken the high divin approach and screamin towards the water
there hearts are racin a million miles as they buy another smile from a jar
there bodies are screamin for the water you know i just hope they make it that far

i hope there 75 and sunny
and not 29 with a chance flurries all the time
i hope we're all old as dirt and not new as any 25 dollar trip that we can try
or to be thru 35 momma stoned with our backs to the wind
you better believe i'm lookin for moment but my moment sums up the hole damn thing

and i say i rather be 75
oh how nice oh how easy for me to say
i've never broken a bone in my life
or let alone had my heart or a hip replaced
and i keep the furious pace and i still feel so good and strong
and i still get tempted for a taste just a taste to keep me going and going and going and going an go

i got a notion
that everything i learn comin around
in my devotion to the new thing and the next thing and the hip thing is slowin down
and i got a locked in here wont go nowhere noway
and i dont spend every second smilin and i aint tryin but i'm excited for everday everyday

cause i rather be75 and sunny
29 with a chance of showers all the time
i rather be older than the lake then this years new kid runnin for my life
or to be part of 35 momma stoned faced and gleary eyed
you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moment
you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but these moments
you better believe i'm lookin for the moment but my moments growin biger by and by by and by
