Lyrics: Yes
 
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 getting 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 getting to my best years yet
The older I get
 
INTERLUDE
 
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
