"Fun & Free" lyrics

"Fun & Free"

I got my old job back, pushing this machine
I'm mowing my own lawn now like I did at age 14
Six decades have come and gone, hey I'm the old young me
Mowing my grass, I'm my own boss, and I'm doin' it for fun and free

Mom showed me how to vacuum when I was just a kid
That was then and this is now and I'm doin' what I did
Made it Ma, top of the world, now I'm channeling James Cagney
Now it's wall to wall, I'm havin'a ball, doin' it for fun and free

Hey doin' it for fun and free
That's my new philosophy
It's practically recovery
When you do it for fun and free

Doin' it for fun and free

The cops keep getting younger and the car salesmen do, too
Just how long can this go one? I can't say I wish I knew
But I'll say this - hear what I say - spend life like it's a spree
'Cause it's one and done - that's it son - so do it for fun and free

Hey, do it for fun and free
Gee whiz and golly gee
C'mon it's easy
When you do it for fun and free

Hey, do it for fun and free
It's practically recovery
Hey, you can keep your approval and your damn money
Because I'm doin' it for fun and free
Yeah
