Billy Joe Shaver's I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal
Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
I'm gonna go 'round shakin' ev'rybody's hand
Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
Now I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day
Lest I should become vain along the way

Simple Man is a great song and could fit me, too.
Will go with My Sharona by The Knack. It’s about getting BJ. Live dat!
If not Simple Man, BJ all day.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

Not my favorite song but if I had to live by one:
Posted on 2/10/26 at 2:39 pm to Mushroom1968
"I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those winds of change blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead"

I'd choose this one because society is trash and being away from it is a positive.

The older I get, the more I strive for this.

Ain't Wastin' Time No More - Allman Bros
… Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
Week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly
… And oh, I ain't a-wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
… Well, Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why are your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, lookin' like you're dyin'
Just step yourself outside and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown, baby, find somebody to love
… But meanwhile, I ain't a-wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like pourin' rain, and much faster things
… You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
Ya can't let one precious day to slip by
Look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then you don't
But leave your mind alone and just get high, oh yeah
… Well, by and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We'll raise our children in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me, brother, to try and try again
… So, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway trains
Don't forget the pourin' rain
