Add it Up

This song is the fucking American Pie of my generation, seriously, i've been listening to this song for 25 plus years and it still gets me every fucking time, i can still sing it to unsuspecting females at the bar at the age of 41 with the same passion and conviction that i sang it to females when i was 16 and drinking beer and rolling around in One-Eyed Bobby's mom's station wagon and of course sometimes those females laugh and other times they grab you by the collar of your shirt and kiss you, cuz i would love to love you lover, and since i've been living it a bit lately like a 16yr old father of two i decided to dust it off and sing along, soon i'll get back to the posts, i got shit to finish and shit to start but sometimes i just gotta let the mind run and see i had this conversation the other day with this lady at work, we were talking about this cat who's damn near 50 and hasn't lived a day in his life, he's a good guy and a friend of mine and i told him that he's gonna wake up on his deathbed and wish he'd have done something with all those days he had on the planet, this lady looked up at me from her desk and stated that everyone probably feels that way and she's a bit older than me but many times i forget i'm past the ripe old age of 40 and i smiled at her and stated that you ain't looking at one of them, that i've lived it, sometimes like it might be my last day, hell some of the ones i've lived should have been my last day but fuck it i woke up and the stumbled into the next one smiling, said that i didn't plan on stopping now either, sure i got some responsibilities and shit but when i wake up on that last day i might be a bit melancholy knowing it's the last one but i'll be grinning like the cat that ate the canary cuz i'll know i didn't waste it, that though there may have been some rough spots it was a good fucking time and i got nothing to be sad about, and i'll close my eyes and let the devil punch my ticket and head straight to the bar... and now back to the program...
