Font:      
Align:    
  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1980
  • For all those who dont feel as old as they are and never will
  • I rounded first never thought of the worst
  • As I studied the shortstops position
  • Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg
  • Someone call a decent physician
  • Im no pete rose, I cant pretend
  • Though my mind is quite flexible, these brittle bones dont bend
  • Chorus:
  • Im growing older but not up
  • My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
  • Let those winds of time blow over my head
  • Id rather die while Im living than live while Im dead
  • Sometimes I see me as old manatee
  • Headin south as the waters grow colder
  • Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near
  • It cuts prop scars deep in his shoulder
  • But thats how it goes (thats how it goes), right to the end
  • Though his bodys quite flexible, that barnacle brain dont bend
  • Chorus:
  • Im growing older but not up
  • My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
  • Let those winds of time blow over my head
  • Id rather die while Im livin than live while Im dead
  • (instrumental)
  • Now dont get me wrong
  • This is not a sad song
  • Just events that I have happened to witness
  • And time takes its toll as we head for the poll
  • And no one dies from physical fitness
  • So what the hell, well take it right to the end
  • As the days grow more complicated the nightlife still wins
  • Chorus:
  • Im growing older but not up
  • My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
  • Let those winds of change blow over my head
  • Id rather die while Im living than live while Im dead
  • Let those winds of time blow over my head
  • Id rather die while Im living than live while Im dead
