Growing Older but Not up Lyrics |
||
 By: Jimmy Buffett 1980 For all those who don`t feel as old as they are and never will 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 Chorus: 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 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 that`s how it goes (that`s how it goes), right to the end Though his body`s quite flexible, that barnacle brain don`t bend Chorus: 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 (instrumental) Now don`t 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, we`ll take it right to the end As the days grow more complicated the nightlife still wins Chorus: 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 those winds of time blow over my head I`d rather die while I`m living than live while I`m dead |
