The Older I Get Lyrics - Alan Jackson

[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 

[Chorus] 

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

[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 

[Chorus] 

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
