Got Old Lyrics - Singles - The Babies

I was twenty-one, I was thirty-three 

I was just a child when I was seventeen 

I got old [repeat 3 times] 

In every year it is a different number 

In every meal it's more like my father 

I got old [repeat 3 times] 

And now I'm comfortable within this world 

And it's all I know 

I'm not ready to go 

Miles around you 

You feel like my mother beneath the shoulder of my father 

Yeah they were young once, 

Yeah in their own right 

They were like us. 

I had a friend just like a child 

Let him stay young, young and wild. 

Never got old, never got old 

He died so young 

Let the days move slow as everyone I know grows old 

Let through them grow. 

I will come back old 

And the year which I hold in me 

Which I hold in me [Repeat 3 times] 

Now there's nothing to do in this town 

There's nothing to do in this town anymore 

And no one is left around 

There nothing to do in this town anymore 

Oh lord, I got old 

I got old [repeat 6 times] 

When I was young 

Man, I was younger 

You should have seen me 

I was on fire
