TURNING THIRTY

Words and Music by Randy Stonehill Those USns, why must they use that name...

I've got a house down by the ocean, the rent is not too high
And I love to watch the ships come in and hear the seagulls cry
And lately I've been taking stock of all that I've been through
Oh tomorrow is my birthday feels funny but it's true
I'm turning thirty
.....
Now thirty ain't like fifteen and it's not like twenty-five
My back's a little stiff and there're some lines around my eyes
But I've still got my energy and I've got most of my hair
And I'm not too old to rock 'n roll and I'm not really scared
Of turning thirty

Obviously turning 30 in 1983 was a lot different to turning 30 in 2001... None of these peculiar ailments overtook me when I turned 30!
