0:17The older I get
0:21The more I think
0:25You only get a minute better live while you're in it
0:29'Cause it's gone in a blink
0:33And the older I get
0:37The truer it is
0:41It's the people you love not the money and stuff
0:45That makes you rich
0:50And if they found a fountain of youth
0:54I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
0:58Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet
1:06The older I get
1:11The fewer friends I have
1:15But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got
1:19Have always got your back
1:23And the older I get
1:27The better I am
1:32At knowing when to give
1:34And when to just not give a damn
1:41And if they found a fountain of youth
1:45I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
1:49Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet
1:57The older I get
2:31And I don't mind all the lines
2:35From all the times I've laughed and cried
2:40Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived
2:48The older I get
2:52The longer I pray
2:57I don't know why I guess that I
3:01Got more to say
3:05And the older I get
3:09The more thankful I feel
3:13For the life I've had and all the life I'm living still
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 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
