Alan Jackson The Older I Get Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
The older I get
The longer I pray
I don't know why, I guess that I've
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
