Alan Jackson - The Older I Get

Alan Jackson

The Older I Get van Alan Jackson is geschreven door Adam Wright, Hailey Whitters en Sarah Allison Turner, en is de eerste song van zijn album uit 2018. Het album is de opvolger van Angels and Alcohol uit 2015.

This song reflects a lot of how I feel these days,” aldus Alan. “It’s a good song. I really liked it, but the message was a little different when I first heard it. I thought maybe it could be a little more positive about being older and wiser and more content, so they rewrote a few things, and this is how it ended up.

 

The Older I Get

 

The older I get
The more I think
You only get a minute, better live while you're in it
'Cause it's gone in a blink
And the older I get
The truer it is
It's the people you love, not the money and stuff
That makes you rich

 

And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet

 

The older I get
The fewer friends I have
But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got
Have always got your back
And the older I get
The better I am
At knowing when to give
And when to just not give a damn

 

And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth
Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet
The older I get

 

And I don't mind all the lines
From all the times I've laughed and cried
Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived

 

The older I get
The longer I pray
I don't know why, I guess that I
Got more to say
And the older I get
The more thankful I feel
For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
