I'm weary and I'm staying up late   And the rain hits my roof so hard   You know I'm no longer thirty   These days I'm happy to play   One or two hands of cards   I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing   Disturbing the peace I've found   Fortune and fame is so fleeting   These days I'm happy to say   I'm amazed that I'm still around      And the weight of the world is off my back   When we fell, we got up   And crawled out the cracks   Excuse me if I take some comfort in that   Happy today, happy to play   With the weight of the world off of my back      Humidity hangs like a curtain   Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes   You know I've still got my eyesight   These days I'm happy to see   A sunset instead of a line      And the weight of the world is off my back   When we fell, we got up   And crawled out the cracks   Excuse me if I take some comfort in that   Happy today, happy to play   With the weight of the world off of my back      There's a long list of names   That I don't recall   Even though my memory's good   The rain washed away   The lemons and weeds   When the weight of the world weighed more than it should      I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing   Disturbing the peace I've found   Fortune and fame is so fleeting   These days I'm happy to say   I'm amazed that I'm still around   And the weight of the world is off my back   When we fell, we got up   And crawled out the cracks   Excuse me if I take some comfort in that   Happy today, happy to play   With the weight of the world off of my back      Happy today, happy to play   With the weight of the world off of my back
