The Older I Get
I can see it like it was yesterday
Flying 'cross the finish line
Winning the race against all odds
And doing it in record time
Another day I was at the plate
And the crowd was on their feet
Then the bases cleared and I rounded third
After putting one in the seats
Some folks long to go back to their glory days
But that's not me because
The older I get, the better I was
Some friends and I, we had a rock 'n roll band
We played all the big clubs in town
Even took the show out on the road
And everybody really dug our sound
When I look back at the spotlight
I can't believe I ever left the stage
But stardom can get to be such a chore
Don't wanna have to relive those days
So you can head back in your time machine
I'm happy right here because
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
Nothing ages quite like a good memory does
And the older I get, the better I was
Well, it's not enough to just sit around
And reminisce about days gone by
Old times, with me, improve with age
Till there's no way to deny
That I saved the day; I got all the girls
Everybody wished they were me
How my name is not a household word
Is my life's great mystery
But I don't mind that you can't go back
The future looks good because
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
Nothing ages quite like a good memory does
And the older I get, the better I was
Nothing ages quite like my memory does
And the older I get, the better I was
Flying 'cross the finish line
Winning the race against all odds
And doing it in record time
Another day I was at the plate
And the crowd was on their feet
Then the bases cleared and I rounded third
After putting one in the seats
Some folks long to go back to their glory days
But that's not me because
The older I get, the better I was
Some friends and I, we had a rock 'n roll band
We played all the big clubs in town
Even took the show out on the road
And everybody really dug our sound
When I look back at the spotlight
I can't believe I ever left the stage
But stardom can get to be such a chore
Don't wanna have to relive those days
So you can head back in your time machine
I'm happy right here because
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
Nothing ages quite like a good memory does
And the older I get, the better I was
Well, it's not enough to just sit around
And reminisce about days gone by
Old times, with me, improve with age
Till there's no way to deny
That I saved the day; I got all the girls
Everybody wished they were me
How my name is not a household word
Is my life's great mystery
But I don't mind that you can't go back
The future looks good because
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
The older I get, the better I was
Nothing ages quite like a good memory does
And the older I get, the better I was
Nothing ages quite like my memory does
And the older I get, the better I was
