Got Old

I was 21, I was 33

I was just a child when I was 17

I got old, I got old, I got old

And every year it is a different number

And every mirror is more like my father

I got old, I got old, I got old

And now I'm comfortable

Within this world

And it's all I've known

I'm not ready to go

My arm's 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 them through, then go

Out the back door

And release the child in me

The child in me

The child in me

The child

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's nothing to do in this town anymore

I got old, I got old, I got old

I got old, I got old, I got old

When I was young

Man I was younger

You should have seen me

I was on fire
