40 Years

[Verse 1]
It don't take much to be happy
Some things you win ain't worth the fight
Always have a home to come home to
Sometimes it's wrong to be right
There's a bad kind of laughter
There's a good kind of tears
These are some things that I've learned
It only took me 40 Years

[Verse 2]
Though the path will leave you burning
You don't let it go
Tomorrow's what you make it
You really do reap what you sow
There's a blind kind of courage
There's a good kind of fear
These are some things that I've learned
It only took me 40 years

[Bridge]
If it's true that I'm middle aged now, I'll take it
Cause it took this long to get to where I am
Second half will be all that I can make it
Only this time around I'll understand

{Verse 3]

You can't change another man's thinking by trying to win
You just keep doing those things you believe in, again and again
There's a bad kind of thinking
And there's a good kind of clear
These are some things that I've learned
It only took me 40 years
