[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
