Growing Up!

I used to be a fat man,
A drunken little mess.

I used to get on the wrong side of the law,
I was always in distress.

Came along a little birdy,
She showed me how to fly.

She taught me how to love myself,
To this was my reply.

I lost a ton of weight,
I got myself fit.

I lived a life of happiness,
For once a gave a shit.

I have many days ahead of me,
I hope they stay this way.

Then maybe one day when I'm old,
I can party when I'm grey.
