lyrics

What was that noise? Just be quiet for a second
Was it some kinda rodent that the cat let in?
Did I leave the door open? I mean I just can't even
Well come in relax and join me, I'm just sittin' down eatin'
I'm just trying to keep going
It's good to see you my dear friend
I've never been this old before
But I'll never be this young again

Sometimes I feel so tired with the weight of the world
People everywhere up front with their flags unfurled
So many diseases that can never be cured
People believing every crazy idea they've ever heard
I'm just mindin' my own business
Unless I've got a helping hand to lend
I've never been this old before
But I'll never be this young again

The past ain't gonna change
And the future's unknown
What you do with the present
Is up to you alone
It's not getting any better
Of that there's no doubt
So just take it while you can for what it is right now

I'm finding it's a thin line 'tween a wish and a worry
The future's gonna come ain't no reason to hurry
I don't mean to borrow trouble I don't need to feel sorry
We won't know till then if it's a blizzard or a flurry
Would you argue with a fish?
Would you try to debate with a hen?
I've never been this old before
But I'll never be this young again
Never be this young again
Never never never never
Never be this young again
Never be this young again
