I’m gonna stop drinking to day
Said the old man setting next to me
I’m wasting my money and so much of my time
Swearing off the drink will help set me free

I’m gonna stop smoking to day
This two pack habit gonna kill me
The money I’ll save in a year, sure will be a lot
Swearing off smoking will help set me free

I’m gonna start eating better to day
My blood pressure is high and numbers scare me
Fast food and Coca Colas are starting to show
Swearing off fast food will help set me free

BRIDGE
I’m gonna focus on my family starting to day
I’ve got a good woman who puts up with me
Our kids a nearly grown, and they make me so proud
Swearing off the drink will help set me free

I’m gonna stop drinking to day
Said the old man setting next to me
He has said it every day for the past 15 years
The reflection in the mirror will never set him free
