We’re C sitting on the front porch G laughing at the years. <\/span>
\nAm Counting all the wrinkles like our F medals and our cheers<\/span>
\nC In this home of memories where G time moves kind of slow<\/span>
\nWe Am say a name for sissies as the F sunsets start to glow<\/span><\/p>\n

C Age your name for sissies, but we’re G dancing anyway <\/span>
\nWith a Am joke & a smile we’ll F keep the years at bay. <\/span>
\nThere’s a C little world of ours with a G golden moment shine <\/span>
\nWe Am turn the page together as we F toast tomorrow time<\/span>
\nC Ohhh G Ohhh Am Yeah F<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a C twinkle in our stories and a G twang in how we sing. <\/span>
\nMix a Am bit of country laughter in on F top of everything. <\/span>
\nLike a C Randy Newman grin with some G apple in the air . <\/span>
\nWe’re a Am band of joyful rebels in our F rocking chairs out there.<\/span><\/p>\n

So G here’s to all the seasons that we F carry in our souls. <\/span>
\nWe’re Am painting life in laughter as the F rocking gently rolls.<\/span><\/p>\n

C Age and aim for sissies, but we G wouldn’t trade a day <\/span>
\nWith a Am hopeful little chuckle we’ll F keep time’s blues away <\/span>
\nOn the C Beatitudes front porch under G Arizona skies. <\/span>
\nWe’ll Am sing our anthem proudly as the F years just roll on by.<\/span>
