My name is Winston
And I am in Grade 3
I hate my math class
But I'm kinda liking history
And I know that Hannah Fitzenburger
Has a crush on me
But I'll be damned before I catch cooties
My name is Winston
And I'm 17
I hate my locker but
I love the JV soccer team
And I know that I have a future somewhere
Waiting up for me
Just wait till I get my degree
My name is Winston
And I'm 23
I hate my job
I hate this dumb economy
And I know that I'd be better off
In some other country
Just wait till I make enough money
My name is Winston
And I'm 25
Still hate my job
But I love my newly wedded wife
And I know that she loves me
And that we'll have a lovely life
I fell in love with her eyes
My name is Winston
And I'm 36
I've been promoted
And I've got a couple kids
And I know that they have a future somewhere
Based on what they've been
Just hope for now they fit in
My name is Winston
And I'm 44
I think I work too much
My wife filed for a divorce
I feel like my whole life
Has gone completely of its course
I need a drink my throat is sore
My name is Winston
And I'm 52
She left six years ago
And I still don't know what all to do
And my kids want me to date again
But I'm soaking up the booze
What the hell else I got to lose
My name is Winston
And I'm 68
Been sober 7 years all thanks
To my AA
But my health is slipping slowly
And I'm constantly in pain
Just gotta take it day by day
My name is Winston
And my heart is getting worse
It'll probably kill me if the
Doctors don't get to me first
I wish that could travel
There's a freedom that I thirst
I miss my kids so much it hurts
My name is Winston and
I'm about to die
Thank you for listening but please heed my advice
Don't live your life like I did
Oh there's only so much time
Stop wishing
Start doing
Goodbye
