Another Year Older

I got engaged when my girl was late
We picked out rings and a wedding date
I took off, I didn't tell anyone
I never even met my own son

Another year older, another year down
My hair's turning gray and my belly's getting round
Another year older, more body aches
I'm just trying to learn from my mistakes

I'm all alone and I got no wife
What did I do with my life
Too much time feeding my nose
Pushing those away, trying to get close

My cocaine days are in the past
Now I'm a slave to a whiskey glass
I've been sober forty days
I'm gonna change my wicked ways

Another year older, another year down
My hair's turning gray and my belly's getting round
Another year older, more body aches
I'm just trying to learn from my mistakes

I called up my son the other day
And neither one of us knew what to say
But tomorrow I'm driving up to Austin
I'm gonna catch a plane and meet my son in Boston

Another year older, pushing on through
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Another year older, this I know
The morning sun makes the dark clouds glow
Dark clouds glow
