I´m weary and I´m staying up late
And the rain hits my roof so hard
You know I´m no longer thirty these days
I´m happy to play one or two hands of cards

I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace I´ve found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting these days
I´m happy to say I´m amazed that I´m still around

chorus
And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off my back

Humidity hangs like a curtain
Oh it fogs up my glasses sometimes
You know I´ve still got my eyesight these days
I´m happy to see a sunset instead of a line

[repeat chorus]

There´s a long list of names that I don´t recall
Even though my memory´s good
The rain washed away the lemons and weeds
When the weight of the world weighed more than it should

I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace I´ve found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting these days
I´m happy to say I´m amazed that I´m still around

[repeat chorus]

I´m happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off my back
