The older I get
The more I think
You only get a minute
Better live while you’re in it
‘Cause it’s gone in a blink
And the older I get
The truer it is
It’s the people you love
Not the money and stuff
That makes you rich
And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn’t drink a drop
And that’s the truth
Funny how it feels I’m just gettin’ to
My best years yet
The older I get
The fewer friends I have
But you don’t need a lot
When the ones that you’ve got
Have always got your back
And the older I get
The better I am
At knowing when to give
And when to just not give a damn
And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn’t drink a drop
And that’s the truth
Funny how it feels I’m just gettin’ to
My best years yet
The older I get
And I don’t mind all the lines
From all the times
I’ve laughed and cried
Souvenirs and little signs
Of the life I’ve lived
The older I get
The longer I pray
I don’t know why
I guess that I’ve got more to say
And the older I get
The more thankful I feel
For the life I’ve had
And all the life I’m living still
