Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Alternative to 'Happy Birthday'
from Todd Snider's Aged Like Wine:

Old Timer, Old Timer,
It's too late to die young now.
Old Timer, five and dimer
Tryin' to find a way to age like wine somehow.

I know every fool that's ever signed his picture on the walls
At the back of all these beer joints and concert halls
Been through five managers, seven labels
A thousand picks and patch cables
Five banjos, a bunch of guitar stands
And cans and cans and cans of beer
And bottles of booze and bags of pot
And a bunch of stuff that I forgot
I thought that I'd be dead by now
But I'm not.
