As I Get Older
All through the years of just being a kid
Everything Mom and Dad said I just brushed it off
But now that I've got a little way
It's what they taught me when I was young
I was poor from the back of my mind
I didn't realize it then but I sure do now
What they taught me was important to life
Yeah
As I get older I realize more in my life
Everything my parents did it's starting to make sense
Gotta work to make money, gotta make money to pay the bills
Gotta pay the bills to have everything
It's just one big step from a boy to a man
As I get older everything makes a lot more sense
Yeah, yeah
As I get older
My Daddy was a man of faith
Lived by his standards
Taught me to stand up, stand for myself
Instead of being walked all over
I'm glad he did cause in the world today
That's how you gotta be my Mama
Well she ain't no saint but she did her best
Did all she could do to raise us kids up right
Yeah she did
As I get older I realize more in my life
Everything my parents did it's starting to make sense
Gotta work to make money, gotta make money to pay the bills
Gotta pay the bills to have everything
It's just one big step from a boy to a man
As I get older everything makes a lot more sense
As I get older I realize more in my life
Everything my parents did it's starting to make sense
Gotta work to make money, gotta make money to pay the bills
Gotta pay the bills to have everything
It's just one big step from a boy to a man
As I get older everything makes a lot more sense
A lot more sense
As I get older
Everything makes a lot more sense
That's as I get older
Everything Mom and Dad said I just brushed it off
But now that I've got a little way
It's what they taught me when I was young
I was poor from the back of my mind
I didn't realize it then but I sure do now
What they taught me was important to life
Yeah
As I get older I realize more in my life
Everything my parents did it's starting to make sense
Gotta work to make money, gotta make money to pay the bills
Gotta pay the bills to have everything
It's just one big step from a boy to a man
As I get older everything makes a lot more sense
Yeah, yeah
As I get older
My Daddy was a man of faith
Lived by his standards
Taught me to stand up, stand for myself
Instead of being walked all over
I'm glad he did cause in the world today
That's how you gotta be my Mama

Yeah she did
As I get older I realize more in my life
Everything my parents did it's starting to make sense
Gotta work to make money, gotta make money to pay the bills
Gotta pay the bills to have everything
It's just one big step from a boy to a man
As I get older everything makes a lot more sense
As I get older I realize more in my life
Everything my parents did it's starting to make sense
Gotta work to make money, gotta make money to pay the bills
Gotta pay the bills to have everything
It's just one big step from a boy to a man
As I get older everything makes a lot more sense
A lot more sense
As I get older
Everything makes a lot more sense
That's as I get older
