CORRECT LYRICS

Lyrics : Growing Older but Not Up (Live)

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
