Tempered

It was not that long ago so many people told me so

Son you better slow down.

Well it’s okay I’d say, what’s the fuss here anyway

Nothing can take me down.

Still laughing and singing with good friends

Picking up all the pieces from a hot night.

It’s been a hard fight. Taking each and every day

Finding ways to celebrate life, sweet life.

Somewhere along the way I turned old and grey.

Gravity taking me down.

If I knew then, what I know now, I’d only change the way

I spread my love around.

Still laughing and singing with good friends

Picking up all the pieces from a hot night.

It’s been a hard fight. Taking each and every day

Finding ways to celebrate life.

Sometimes it feels like something is wrong.

But if you wait too long it might all be gone.

So when you hear that tune just sing your own song.

For it is our time now, you’ve got to live it somehow….

Well life’s dealt me a real bad hand.

It’s only helped me realize what it means to be a man.

So if you’re here to try and bring me down

I’ve got family and friends, I don’t need you here anyhow.

Still laughing and singing with good friends

Picking up all the pieces from a hot night.

It’s been a hard fight. Taking each and every day

Finding ways to celebrate life.
