Intro: verse 1 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 tha’s the truth Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet verse 2 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 Instrumental Bridge 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 verse 3 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

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque une réflexion sur le passage du temps et l’importance des relations humaines. En vieillissant, l'artiste réalise que ce qui compte vraiment, ce ne sont pas les biens matériels, mais les personnes qui nous entourent et nous soutiennent. Les leçons de vie s'accumulent, et avec elles, une gratitude croissante pour tout ce que l'on a vécu. Il exprime aussi un rapport apaisé avec son âge, préférant apprécier le présent plutôt que de rechercher une jeunesse perdue, tout en se sentant de plus en plus épanoui.
