Lyrics

When I was twenty-five, wild and alive
I thought the whole world was mine
I knew it all, having a ball
But it all changed with time
I used think, forty was on the brink
Over the hill wrinkled and grey
This older generation, gave me an education
On living this life the right way
CHORUS
They said, celebrate life each and every day
Make the best of what comes your way
Two feet on top is better than six feet below
Truth be told, you ain’t old till you cold
Now I’m in midlife, and on my fourth wife
All the money I make is not mine
I’m on a treadmill, going downhill
I don’t see no end in sight
Now I’m standing here, looking in the mirror
Counting each line on my face
When those people come back to mind, and I find
I can still feel what I heard them say
CHORUS
Today I’m pushing sixty three, take a good look at me
I’m blessed beyond my wildest dreams
I’m wiser, I’m a survivor
Don’t give a damn what you think
Use your attitude, to create your mood
Let the chips fall where they may
This man is telling you, I’ve learned a thing or two
Don't let nothing get in your way
CHORUS
O-L-D That ain’t me, O-L-D That ain’t me, O-L-D That ain’t me…
