I wanna’ play outside in the summer
Forget about the voice of my mother
Saying, “oh, don’t lie out in the sun”
I wanna’ eat like nobody’s watching
Every piece of cake in the oven
Baby, no, won’t share with anyone
In forty years, I wanna’ hear you say
You’re still beautiful and that’ll never change
See I’ve been holding on to rules
That I’d love to break with you
Maybe we could just let go
Maybe we could just get old
Gonna’ let my hair go to gray ‘n
Spend the money on a long vacation
We can go to anywherе we choose
Gonna’ let thе kids do the dishes
We don’t have to be so ambitious
We can sleep in every day ‘till noon
In forty years, I wanna’ see your face
With that same expression as on our wedding day
See I’ve been holding on to rules
That I’d love to break with you
Maybe we could just let go
Maybe we could just get old
In forty years, the wrinkles on my skin
Will tell the story of the places that I’ve been
And wouldn’t that be something sweet
You could take the ride with me
Maybe we could just let go
Maybe we could just get old
