Regretting many missteps
And years paralyzed by fear
Better I should have relaxed
And just drank more beer
Wound too tight to enjoy
Always in high gear
Better I wasn't so paranoid
And just drank more beer
Worried about money
Thinking disaster was always near
I should have merely trusted God
And just drank more beer
After 40 years of stress
Always checking to my rear
Better to look ahead with hope
And just drink more beer
