Well they don't slide a twenty in your birthday card no more And there's a 50/50 shots you'll have a cake We're throwing down the night Some of us stay out late But some of us have babies on the way Too old to die young Too young to slow down Still got a lot to learn Some would say I've been around Probably missed my chance by now To be an astronaut But I've still got a lot of fire left to burn At thirty years on earth I'm catching up to my dad He's gonna turn sixty this May And for once he's twice as old as I am now I bought a car without a cosign when my premium went down But I still like to blow those speakers out Now that I'm too old to die young But too young to slow down Still got a lot to learn Some would say I've been around Probably missed my chance by now To be an astronaut And I've still got a lot of fire left to burn At thirty years on earth I've beat up this guitar It still don't look like Willie Nelsons But with any luck I'll get it there some day I got a little piece of land then I bought a girl a diamond You know, the more I think about it I'm okay Getting too old to die young Too young to slow down There's some things you just can't talk me into now So what if I missed my chance To be an astronaut? And I've still got a lot of fire left to burn At thirty years on earth Oh yeah, thirty years on earth Now, now, now, yeah Thirty years on earth
