Had an early flight to Tucson for another show
Three hour layover in San Antoni o
Called up an old Navy buddy of mine
Lets meet in the Airport Lounge ‘tween eight-thirty and nine

Its been 20 years of old Christmas cards
But, there right on time, was my old buddy Art
Got a mean look from the waitress when I ordered two beers
Art laughed so hard, it nearly brought us both to tears

We started catching up, I saw a peace deep within
He'd had a hard life, the Navy did him in
Said its been a year now, since my sweet wife died
I finally figured out just how to survive

Chorus
Said “I got a house, and a boat, everything is mine
I set my own damn schedule, take my own good time
Don't care what people think, let down my guard
Biggest problem these days are molehills in the yard

After a second round with Miss Evil Eye
We shook hands, swapped emails, said our goodbyes
That night after the show. into my hotel room
I called and woke up my wife, just to tell her the news

Chorus…..I said Honey
We got a nice house and all those songs of mine
Mortgage is paid, don’t owe a dime
After 45 years, we can let down our guard
Only worry in this world will be molehills in the yard

TAG: Our only worry in this world are molehills in the yard
