[Verse 1]
The older I ge
t
The more I thi
nk
You only get a
minute, bette
r live while y
ou're in it
'Cause it's go
ne in a blink
And the older
I get
The truer it i
s
It's the peopl
e you love, no
t the money an
d stuff
That makes you
rich
[Chorus]
And if they fo
und a fountain
of youth
I wouldn't dri
nk a drop and
that's the tru
th
Funny how it f
eels I'm just
getting to my
best years yet
[Verse 2]
The older I ge
t
The fewer frie
nds I have
But you don't
need a lot whe
n the ones tha
t you got
Have always go
t your back
And the older
I get
The better I a
m
At knowing whe
n to give
And when to ju
st not give a
damn
[Chorus]
And if they fo
und a fountain
of youth
I wouldn't dri
nk a drop and
that's the tru
th
Funny how it f
eels I'm just
getting to my
best years yet
The older I ge
t

And I don't
[Bridge]
mind all the l
ines
From all the t
imes I've laug
hed and cried
Souvenirs and
little signs o
f the life I'v
e lived
[Verse 3]
The older I ge
t
The longer I p
ray
I don't know w
hy, I guess th
at I
Got more to sa
y
And the older
I get
The more thank
ful I feel
For the life I
've had, and a
ll the life I'
m living still
