Pushing Forty (Joy's Song)
My friend and I chalked the sidewalk
We sat in the cold tryna hide the fact
We know we're getting old
Now I sit and watch
As the faces light up
At the sight of the chalk on the side walk
Those smiles cost me $8.50
And worth every penny that I
Didn't get to spend
On my morning coffee for the next two days
But isn't it great to have joy like a child again
My friend and I went to look at Christmas lights
Windows down Mariah singing loud
And we say 'we'll never be too old'
Now we're fighting off
Becoming another cog
In the jaded machine called adulting
I don't want to be pushing forty
Hurrying and carrying
Disappointment after disappointment
I really want to be able to say
'Isn't it great that our childlike joy has remained'
My friend and I chalked the sidewalk
We sat in the cold tryna hide the fact
We know we're getting old
We sat in the cold tryna hide the fact
We know we're getting old
Now I sit and watch
As the faces light up
At the sight of the chalk on the side walk
Those smiles cost me $8.50
And worth every penny that I
Didn't get to spend
On my morning coffee for the next two days
But isn't it great to have joy like a child again
My friend and I went to look at Christmas lights
Windows down Mariah singing loud
And we say 'we'll never be too old'
Now we're fighting off
Becoming another cog
In the jaded machine called adulting
I don't want to be pushing forty
Hurrying and carrying
Disappointment after disappointment
I really want to be able to say
'Isn't it great that our childlike joy has remained'
My friend and I chalked the sidewalk
We sat in the cold tryna hide the fact
We know we're getting old
