Lyrics
This is what it's all about, its a crazy world out there so We all need a couple hours just to go nuts yeah And I can truly say after all this time, I'm only growing older, I ain't growing up I rounded first never thought of the worst As I studied the shortstop's position Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg Someone call a decent physician I'm no Pete Rose, I can't pretend Though my mind is quite flexible, these brittle bones don't bend I'm growing older but not up My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck Let those winds of time blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead Now 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 my shoulder But that's how it goes, right to the end Though his body quite flexible, that barnacle brain don't bend I'm growing older but not up My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck Let those winds of time blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm livin' than live while I'm dead But don't get me wrong This is not a sad song Just events that I have happened to witness Time takes its toll as we head for the poll And no one dies from physical fitness So what the hell, we'll take it right to the end As these days grow more complicated a night like this still wins I'm growing older but not up My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck Let those winds of change blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead Let the winds of time blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead Thank you all, have a great weekend We love ya Older but not up, see ya next week
