I’ve loved. I’ve lived.
I’ve built family.
I’ve watched the children grow into
The awesome adults they are now.
But the time has come to do what’s best for me.
How do I tell them? What do I say?
That it’s my turn. I want so much more.
I want passion. I want to feel alive.
I want to Dance with the devil.
Then walk away.
I want to gamble and win.
How do I tell them? What do I say?
I’m not ready for a rocking chair.
I want to dance too good music.
Through back a Whiskey and drink in life.

I guess I’ll tell them, it’s my turn now,
