It's been the longest time, Since I've felt this alive. So many years gone by Since I've seen all these guys. But on this day,  I rise, When I was granted life, To find my eyes surprised By all their smiles and cries! "Hey, happy birthday man! " "It's been a long-ass time! " "We planned ahead, and decided To grab some whiskey and wine! " And that was all it took, To get it through my head, That when this night was over We'd likely do it again. See, I'm a man with good friends, I have a thirst I must quench, And when Bacchus calls for me, I always let the games begin! And once these parties start, They rarely, if ever, end. And when the bottles do run dry, Someone carries some more in. "And every glass I take,  I do it not for me;" "It's for His Majesty!" "It's for His Majesty!" Now it's the third warm night And all the wine is gone, The whiskey comes along, And they break out in song: "Another cup for mine!" "Another night survived!" "It's for His Majesty!" "It's for His Majesty!

Birthday Bacchanal
It's been the longest time, Since I've felt this alive. So many years gone by Since I've seen all these guys. But on this day,  I rise, When I was granted life, To find my eyes surprised By all their smiles and cries! "Hey, happy birthday man! " "It's been a long-ass time! " "We planned ahead, and decided To grab some whiskey and wine! " And that was all it took, To get it through my head, That when this night was over We'd likely do it again. See, I'm a man with good friends, I have a thirst I must quench, And when Bacchus calls for me, I always let the games begin! And once these parties start, They rarely, if ever, end. And when the bottles do run dry, Someone carries some more in. "And every glass I take,  I do it not for me;" "It's for His Majesty!" "It's for His Majesty!" Now it's the third warm night And all the wine is gone, The whiskey comes along, And they break out in song: "Another cup for mine!" "Another night survived!" "It's for His Majesty!" "It's for His Majesty!
My birthday parties can get a bit long and wild. I turned 30 June 2. Yay me... bah,I'm so old...
