"40 Years" lyrics

It don't take much to be happy
Some things you win ain't worth the fight
Always have a home to come home to
Sometimes it's wrong to be right
There's a bad kind of laughter
There's a good kind of tears
These are some things that I've learned
It only took me 40 Years

Though the path will leave you burning
You don't let it go
Tomorrow's what you make it
You really do reap what you sow
There's a blind kind of courage
There's a good kind of fear
These are some things that I've learned
It only took me 40 years

If it's true that I'm middle aged now, I'll take it
Cause it took this long to get to where I am
Second half will be all that I can make it
Only this time around I'll understand

You can't change another man's thinking by trying to win
You just keep doing those things you believe in, again and again
There's a bad kind of thinking
And there's a good kind of clear
These are some things that I've learned
It only took me 40 years
