Dear Cassie

Quit my job, enrolled in art school, got my parents to co-sign a loan I might be middle-aged but I'm a penny in the grand scheme of things Even luckier now that they're so rare, rare as my long dark hair My classmate said I looked good for my age. Thought it was crazy I was born in the 70s The feelin of invincible is underrated Man, when I was 20, thought one day I'd be famous Must be why I dropped uni for a boy in the city Must be why I never had me a wee little baby Must be why I sold soap for a regular payday Must be why I'd never Must be why I'd never Must be why I'd never go back The things I've done never lined up quite right with a satisfaction guaranteed timeline I go out dancin with my nephew, once I got married in a church I sowed my oats in my thirties. Maybe I'll still have a little baby I can still buy a piggy bank, they don't expire at midnight on the eve of your 40th The feelin of invincible is underrated Man, when I was 20, thought one day I'd be famous Must be why I dropped uni for a boy in the city Must be why I never had me a wee little baby Must be why I sold soap for a regular payday Must be why I'd never Must be why I'd never Must be why I'd never go back There's so much I can't even imagine yet So much left to do Happy birthday, dear Cassie Happy birthday to you
