The Older I Get.

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 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.
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.
