[Verse 1]
Well I went and did it again
I went and signed myself one of those dirty old record deals
Those things are gonna be the death of me
But I took my money and I made my album
And I didn't like it much but I kept on going
And I smiled and I reckon it's time that I break free

[Verse 2]
Now I'm going down to get myself a job at a bar, yeah
And I'll serve drinks to anyone who wants one
Come on by
Thought about moving down to Mexico
Getting a job washing dishes, you know
(?) any little senorita who don't know nothing me
Or where I'm from
Wouldn't that be something?

[Chorus]
Well I'm thirty one and I'm goin on
And I'm coming on, and I'm coming on
And I'm thirty one and I'm goin on
I ain't turned myself into a big star yet
But I ain't give up, the dream ain't dead
I'm just goin on, I'm goin on
[Verse 3]
Well I've been working on my old Honda motorcycle
This thing will run pretty good but it doesn't wanna idle
I guess maybe it takes after me
And I ain't never had a passenger ride on it
But I reckon I'll throw my senorita on the back of it
And we'll ride and we'll ride and we'll ride till we're free

[Verse 4]
Time's getting hard we can move back into my grandmas place
You know she sure would be glad to see my face
And I can fix up my grandpas house like I've been meaning to
Well the rent's pretty cheap
I guess you call it free
I just go and I pick up the groceries
And I go do all the little things she needs me to do
I love you Grandma

[Chorus]
Well I'm thirty one and I'm goin on
And I'm coming on, and I'm coming on
And I'm thirty one and I'm goin on
I ain't turned myself into a big star yet
But I ain't give up, the dream ain't dead
I'm just goin on, I'm goin on
[Verse 5]
Now I put on an old George Jones song
And I sing and I cry and I laugh along
And I said, "George how did you know it was gonna be this way?"
And I know he's been gone for a little while now
But I can feel him in the air somehow
And we drink and drive the blues away

[Verse 6]
And I sit out in the garage in the good old dad
And I watch that Tennessee sun go down
And I knew if I made it, I wouldn't be with him today
So I just thank God for the time I got
And I don't worry about a hell of a lot
And dad likes my new songs anyway

[Chorus]
Well I'm thirty one and I'm goin on
And I'm coming on, and I'm coming on
And I'm thirty one and I'm goin on
I ain't turned myself into a big star yet
But I ain't give up, the dream ain't dead
I'm just goin on, I'm goin on
