Turning Thirty Lyrics - Singles - Randy Stonehill

I've got a house down by the ocean 

The rent is not too high 

And I love to watch the ships come in 

And hear the seagulls cry 

And lately I've been taking stock 

Of all that I've been through 

Oh, tomorrow is my birthday 

Feels funny but it's true, I'm turning thirty 

Now I've got a wife who really loves me 

She makes my life so sweet 

And a little baby daughter 

Who plays games around my feet 

And my world is very different 

From lost lazy bachelor years 

But if I had the chance to go back 

I'd rather stay right here, turning thirty, I'm turning thirty 

And I have friends who care about me 

They're the best I've ever had 

And they always stood behind me 

Whenever times got bad 

And I love to play my music 

Though the road can be at trial 

But every time I walk on stage 

It's worth each dusty mile, turning thirty 

Yeah now 

Well, now thirty ain't like fifteen 

And it's not like twenty-five 

My back's a little stiff 

And there're some lines around my eyes 

But I've still got my energy 

And I've got most of my hair 

And I'm not too old to rock 'n roll 

And I'm not really scared of turning thirty, yeah yeah 

Oh, the eighties look like tough times 

The world is turning sour 

So I'll keep on serving Jesus 

And await the final hour 

And though I've often failed Him 

In these thirty rocky years 

His mercy brought me this far 

And his love has dried my years, I'm turning thirty 

(I'll treasure these years) 

I'm turning thirty, that's alright 

(I'll treasure these years) 

Turning thirty, yeah 

(I'll treasure these years) 

I'm turning thirty, yeah yeah yeah
