"The Older I Get" - Alan Jackson

Updated: Sep 10, 2022

Guess I'm feeling my years.

Couldn't have said it better if I had written it myself....

Lyrics


 
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
