1980
3
For all those who don't feel as old as they are and never will
4
I rounded first never thought of the worst
5
As I studied the shortstop's position
6
Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg
7
Someone call a decent physician
8
I'm no pete rose, I can't pretend
9
Though my mind is quite flexible, these brittle bones don't bend
10
Chorus:
11
I'm growing older but not up
12
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
13
Let those winds of time blow over my head
14
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead
15
Sometimes I see me as old manatee
16
Headin' south as the waters grow colder
17
Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near
18
It cuts prop scars deep in his shoulder
19
But that's how it goes (that's how it goes), right to the end
20
Though his body's quite flexible, that barnacle brain don't bend
21
Chorus:
22
I'm growing older but not up
23
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
24
Let those winds of time blow over my head
25
I'd rather die while I'm livin' than live while I'm dead
26
(instrumental)
27
Now don't get me wrong
28
This is not a sad song
29
Just events that I have happened to witness
30
And time takes it's toll as we head for the poll
31
And no one dies from physical fitness
32
So what the hell, we'll take it right to the end
33
As the days grow more complicated the nightlife still wins
34
Chorus:
35
I'm growing older but not up
36
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
37
Let those winds of change blow over my head
38
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead
39
Let those winds of time blow over my head
40
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead
