Would you want it?

If I could get those years back
Oh what changes I would make
The cation I'd throw to the wind
Try those chances I didn't take

I'd live the single carefree life
All worries I would ban
Expensive cars and hand made suits
Why I'd be a different man

No wife to nag or put me down
Many lovers I would take
I'd disgard them like an old rag doll
I would live life for my sake

I'd travel around the seven seas
Smoke Cuban hand rolled cigars
I'd drink the finest of all champagne
Under a bed of Hawian stars

But of course I'm only dreaming here
I've got my grandkids now you see
And when I look in their loving eyes
I'm contented as a man could be

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani
