Lyrics for Growing Older But Not Up by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Growing Older But Not Up | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 89 | | | | Lyrics: | I rounded first never thought of the worst
As I studied the shortstop's position
Then crack
went my leg like the shell of an egg
Someone call a decent physician
I'm no Pete Rose, I
can't pretend
While my mind is quite flexible
these brittle bones don't
bend
[Chorus:]
I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly
stuck
So let the winds of change blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living then live
while I'm dead
Sometimes I see me as an old manatee
Heading south as the waters grow
colder
He tries to steer clear of the hum drum so near
It cuts prop scars deep in his
shoulders
That's how it flows right to the end
His body's still flexible but
that
Barnacle brain don't bend
[Chorus]
So now don't get me wrong
This is
not a sad song
Just events that I have happened to witness
And time takes it's toll as we
head for the poll
And no one dies from physical fitness
That's how it goes, right to the
end
As the days grow more complicated the night life still wins
[Chorus]
Let
the winds of change blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
