Pushin� 30
I�m a regular guy, kinda shy. I know where I�m goin� but I don�t know why
I�m pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard
I�m easy goin�, always showin� my better side but I can�t hide that
I�m pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard
When I was in my teens I had the ways but not the means
Then I turned 20 and I had plenty of cars and bars, and old blue jeans
I�m headed for that big three-oh, I ain�t quite ready but don�t you know
That I�m pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard
I don�t worry how my life is spent, I just play guitar and pay my rent
And I�m pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard. I�m taking it slow, a day at a time
Who needs money? Not me, y�know I�m just pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard
Someday I�ll settle down somewhere, get a job and cut my hair
But for now I just don�t care for that
I ain�t lookin� ahead, I ain�t lookin� behind. I�m lookin� around but all that I find is
I�m pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard
I�m taking it slow, a day at a time. Who needs money?
Not me, y�know I�m just pushin� 30 but I ain�t pushin� too hard

Doug Mientkiewicz
Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s my favorite player. Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s the man, he�s the man
Doug Mientkiewicz, I just love to say it. Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s the man, he�s the man
When he was a Twin, it didn�t mean a thing
Then he joined the Sox and Doug Mientkiewicz really rocked
Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s my favorite player
Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s the man, he�s the man
He�s kind to his mother and a former Gold Glover
Doug may not make the Hall of Fame but he�s got 12 letters in his name
Doug Mientkiewicz, I can�t even spell it. Doug Mientkiewicz, but I sure do like to yell it
Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s my favorite player. Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s the man, he�s the man
M-I-E-N, T-K-I-E, W-I-C-Z (I think that�s right)
Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s my favorite player. Doug Mientkiewicz, he just took that ball and ran
Doug Mientkiewicz, I just love to say it. Doug Mientkiewicz, he�s the man, he�s the man

Never Say Never
Never, never, never say never. Because you know that nothing is forever
The more things stay the same, they change just like the weather
So never, never, never say never
I packed my skates and shoulder pads and threw �em in the attic
My days of chasing pucks around were done
Then one day I was asked to play and I found what I was missing
Now my comeback on the ice has just begun
It was one too many noisy bars. I decided I�d had it. My guitar pickin� days were at an end
But I got so sad one day, I began to play and I found what I was missing
So here I am back on the stage again
When my woman left me, I just hung my head and cried
I said, �That�s it, I�m done, I�m through with love�
But then I met that dark-haired girl and I found what I was missing
She was everything that I�d been dreaming of
