 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
