This Is My Time |
LyricsBUSIER THAN BEFORE[Verse 1] Sun's barely up and I'm out on the court Chasing one more shot Three games down and we're keeping score And I'm hotter than I thought Some kid says, "Take it easy, sir" I just laugh and grin By the time we're done, he's breathing hard And I'm signing up again [Chorus] This is my time My time to be free This is my time My time to be me This is my time I've worked a lifetime getting here This is my time The reward for all those years [Verse 2] Met up with Jen for lunch downtown Ordered fries with my meal Spent thirty years eating what I should Now I eat what tastes so good We talked and laughed for an hour or two The pie tasted mighty fine I checked my watch and jumped Happy hour nearly slipped my mind [Chorus] This is my time My time to be free This is my time My time to be me This is my time I've worked a lifetime getting here This is my time The reward for all those years [Verse 3] Walked into happy hour And who should I run into there Shirley waved me to her table Said, "Come pull up a chair" One drink turned into two or three The band began to play Next thing I knew we were dancing And half the evening got away [Chorus] This is my time My time to be free This is my time My time to be me This is my time I've worked a lifetime getting here This is my time The reward for all those years [Bridge] Shirley says, "How about dinner?" I say, "That sounds mighty fine" But before I make another promise I'd better check my time I'm digging through three calendars Trying to get it right Wouldn't want to tell Shirley yes If I've got other plans tonight Dinner led to one more hour Talking by the door Shirley said, "The night's still young" I've heard that line before I looked down at tomorrow's plans And had to laugh somehow Who'd have guessed retirement life Would keep me this busy now? [Outro] Headlights shining down the highway Every one a blazing star Maybe my daughter had a point Night driving's getting hard A couple drinks and a long, long day No need to tempt my fate I called an Uber, climbed inside And got home safe... though late [Final Chorus] This is my time My time to be free This is my time My time to be me This is my time I've worked a lifetime getting here This is my time The reward for all those years |
