He’s started something, but one of my recent favorites is from Jimmy Buffet’s Growing Older But Not Up, most recently in Meet Me In Margaritaville.
I’m growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
So let the winds of change blow over my head
I’d rather die while I’m living then live while I’m dead
I listen to Jimmy Buffet when I walk on the treadmill. I like his upbeat, fun, Key West kind of music, with his ironic lyrics.
My husband doesn’t it get it, since I don’t drink, never done drugs, and yes, so much of his lyrics to glorify that … but at the same time put down that lifestyle. It’s weird.
I attribute a lot of my liking him, because he too is a graduate (or is that former student?) of the University of Southern Mississippi. They’ve always had a good music program, but while I was there, had one of the best Computer Science programs in the country.
