Today I turned twenty-four and thought back on my life
I'm still a bit immature, I don't always do what's right
Buyin' everything I can to be somethin' I ain't
But St. Peter said my Uhaul won't fit through the pearly gates
When that final day comes I'll go out swinging
When the world's gone quiet, I'll be here singin'
When everyone else is sittin', take a stand
If at first you miss that train, it'll come on 'round again
Someday when I'm grown and I no longer paint the town
Will I be satisfied, will the world beat me down
I'll rise up with the sun, persevere keep pushin' on
And look out of my window, by the lamplight before dawn
When that final day comes I'll go out swinging
When the world's gone quiet, I'll be here singin'
When everyone else is sittin', take a stand
If at first you miss that train, it'll come on 'round again
Hey twenty-eight
Are you still the only friend who always needs a wedding date
I'm always runnin', always rushin'
Always trying to plan for somethin'
Let's raise our glass to another year
I'm gonna give it all or nothin'
When that final day comes I'll go out swingin'
When the world's gone quiet, I'll be here singin'
When everyone else is sittin', take a stand
If at first you miss that train, it'll come on 'round again
