My Name Is Winston

My name is Winston
And I am in Grade 3
I hate my math class
But I'm kinda liking history

And I know that Hannah Fitzenburger
Has a crush on me
But I'll be damned before I catch cooties

My name is Winston
And I'm 17
I hate my locker but
I love the JV soccer team

And I know that I have a future somewhere
Waiting up for me
Just wait till I get my degree

My name is Winston
And I'm 23
I hate my job
I hate this dumb economy

And I know that I'd be better off
In some other country
Just wait till I make enough money

My name is Winston
And I'm 25
Still hate my job
But I love my newly wedded wife

And I know that she loves me
And that we'll have a lovely life
I fell in love with her eyes

My name is Winston
And I'm 36
I've been promoted
And I've got a couple kids

And I know that they have a future somewhere
Based on what they've been
Just hope for now they fit in

My name is Winston
And I'm 44
I think I work too much
My wife filed for a divorce

I feel like my whole life
Has gone completely of its course
I need a drink my throat is sore

My name is Winston
And I'm 52
She left six years ago
And I still don't know what all to do

And my kids want me to date again
But I'm soaking up the booze
What the hell else I got to lose

My name is Winston
And I'm 68
Been sober 7 years all thanks
To my AA

But my health is slipping slowly
And I'm constantly in pain
Just gotta take it day by day

My name is Winston
And my heart is getting worse
It'll probably kill me if the
Doctors don't get to me first

I wish that could travel
There's a freedom that I thirst
I miss my kids so much it hurts

My name is Winston and
I'm about to die
Thank you for listening but please heed my advice

Don't live your life like I did
Oh there's only so much time
Stop wishing
Start doing
Goodbye
