Cosgrove Rushing - Glad to Be Alive

Today I woke up
The mirror told the truth
My hair's turning gray
And I'm long in the tooth
Ain't got many more days on the range to ride
I keep losing my ego
And forgetting my pride
Care a lot less about the things I hide
Strip away the pain
There's a whole new man inside
But it's a beautiful morning
And the birds on the wing
Stop and smell the roses you can hear them sing
Children going by holding hands
Walking two by two
I give a wave to my neighbor
She's a lot like me
The older I get the less I disagree
Today must be the day my ship arrives
Well god bless the day
'Cause I'm glad that I'm alive
I forget people's names
And I'm always late
Eat a lot less
But I'm putting on weight
A year goes by much faster but I can't say why
I'm cutting down my drinking
Given up the smoke
Read a lot of books
'Cause it ain't no joke
Trying to figure out the reason I'm still alive
'Cause it's a beautiful morning
And the birds on the wing
Stop and smell the roses you can hear them sing
Children going by holding hands
Walking two by two
I give a wave to my neighbor
He's a lot like me
The older I get the less I disagree
Today must be the day my ship arrives
God bless the day
'Cause I'm glad that I'm alive
