[Intro]
Forty candles, one more round
Lake breeze rolling through this town
[Verse 1]
Boots on the dock and a cooler on ice
Sun on the water, everything’s nice
Got a tackle box, a half-told tale
And a boat that leans when we open the sail
The years put a little gray in my hair
But they never slowed me down out there
I’ve got good friends and a full gas tank
A life worth raising a glass to, thank God I drank
[Chorus]
Here’s to forty, let the good times roll
Chasing fish and wild women with a free-range soul
Lake life living, turning every worry loose
I’m happy, I’m laughing, I’ve got nothing left to prove
Here’s to forty, still young enough to run
Old enough to know that the best is yet to come
Raise that bottle, let the whole night roar
I’m enjoying my life like never before
[Verse 2]
There’s a girl by the fire with a spark in her eye
She says, “You’re trouble,” I say, “Give it a try”
We’ll trade tall stories till the moon gets low
Then follow the shoreline wherever it goes
My buddies are hollering, somebody’s off-key
But that kind of music sounds perfect to me
From the first cast out to the last call sign
I’m right where I want to be, and the timing is fine
[Chorus]
Here’s to forty, let the good times roll
Chasing fish and wild women with a free-range soul
Lake life living, turning every worry loose
I’m happy, I’m laughing, I’ve got nothing left to prove
Here’s to forty, still young enough to run
Old enough to know that the best is yet to come
Raise that bottle, let the whole night roar
I’m enjoying my life like never before
[Bridge]
I’ve had some hard roads, I’ve had some scars
But they led me straight to these open bars
A little more wisdom, a whole lot of fire
Still climbing higher, higher, higher
[Final Chorus]
Here’s to forty, let the good times roll
Chasing fish and wild women with a free-range soul
Lake life living, turning every worry loose
I’m happy, I’m laughing, I’ve got nothing left to prove
Here’s to forty, everybody sing
This is the year for everything
Raise that bottle, let the whole night roar
I’m enjoying my life like never before
[Outro]
Here’s to forty!
One more cast, one more song
Lake life, good friends—bring it on!
