Half Full Songtext
von True North NPK

When his number hit fifty-something
It was time for a little shift
He′d gone from nothing to stuffed garages
Some drama, some baggage, some shit
So he downsized to a few guitars
Dropped a few folks along the way
Lost a couple he'd rather have not
Picked a few new to join the fray

Now he′s finding glasses half full
Makin' days a laugh-full
Flies the world fixing health plans
And giving a hand
Marilyn's his hero
Regrets are down to zero
Got his honey over there in Florence land


So he gathers his dozen reprobates
To a beach where they′ve never been
Where they all lose some crap that′s weighing them down
Through scotch or song or Zen
There's sun and stars and sails and tales
And cooking and breeze and dark seas
Then as the camera zooms out I heard Jack Taylor shout
"We can never go back to the freeze!"

Now he′s finding glasses half full
Makin' days a laugh-full
Flies the world fixing health plans
And giving a hand
Marilyn′s his hero
Regrets are down to zero
Got his honey over there in Florence land

Ditch the suits for maritime roots
And put the travel shoes on
Ditched his jailors for Martins and Taylors
To rock and folk and blues on

So his future's full of sailing
Collecting countries like ball-card sets
Got a couple of places on Anna Maria
No cars, three pools, no pets
And he′s running on sand in the morning
And he's singing guitar at night
Ain't so bad just to have in a suitcase
All you need to do epic right


Now he′s finding glasses half full
Making days a laugh-full
Flies the world fixing health plans
And giving a hand
Marilyn′s his hero
Regrets are down to zero
Got his honey over there in Florence land

Got Jen there in Florence land
Jennifer in Florence, that's just grand
