I don't wanna live 'til I'm 94 And forget everything I once stood for I don't wanna live my glory days Just to have them all melt away I don't wanna live 'til I'm 78 And see a tricentennial that I don't wanna celebrate Don't wanna drink on the 4th of July I pray before then that I keel over and die I wanna stay in this moment, you and me Wanna keep my eyes open I'm gonna hold onto this history And keep my eyes open I don't wanna live 'til I'm 55 And get in the way of those who are still alive Don't wanna meet my grandbabies I'll just stay inside and pray The Lord takes me I don't wanna live 'til I'm 39 Just sitting around, wasting all my time I don't wanna worry about my health I'd rather focus on literally anything else I wanna stay in this moment, you and me Wanna keep my eyes open I'm gonna hold onto this history And keep my eyes open I know I'm being naïve But it's hard to believe That there's a life for me In this goddamn awful century But I'll concede That I still believe In this moment You and me I just wanna live 'til I'm 24 While I still remember what I stand for I just have to figure out a way To fix the world's problems in the next couple of days And then I'll stay in this moment, you and me Got to keep my eyes open If I'm gonna make some better history Got to keep my eyes open
