Thirty Years Old
Randy Anderson

My head leaves the pillow
I know I must move on
I've lived all my life here
And time's almost gone
I don't want to leave her
She's begged me to stay

I pull on my jacket
She hears that I'm awake
She yells from the kitchen
As I smell the cake
She lights all the candles
And makes sure I pray
But, Mom
I'm ALMOST thirty years old today

I've been reading books
I want to see the world at first hand
I've been taking looks around
I'm going to show where I stand
I've been too locked up
To give my heart half a chance
See your baby has grown
And It's time I left

She wanted to have me
Close by her side
But the years have stacked up now
God knows I've tired
She wanted to know
I was down the hallway
But, Mom
Your baby's grown up today

. . . . . . . .

I didn't look back
As I closed the old porch door
But dreams I've been dreaming
There're songs I must play
And there're things that I have to gain
Goodbye, once again
I'm OVER thirty years old today
