Contents 1 Content 2 Chart performance 3 Mark Chesnutt version 3.1 Chart performance 4 References 5 External links Content The mid-tempo song is sung from the perspective of a man who, despite being at an age when most of his peers have started raising families ( at least 30 years old according to the second line ), still lives a hard - partying, rock - and - roll lifestyle more in tune with far younger men. The song also makes reference to his Christian faith, noting that he knows he can not continue like this in heaven ( thus why he does it while he is still alive ) and that he will eventually be forgiven, not just by Jesus, but his `` crazy friends '' as well.
