Growing Older But Not Up - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:01]
I rounded first never thought of the worst[00:00:09]
As I studied the shortstop's position[00:00:13]
Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg[00:00:17]
Someone call a decent physician[00:00:21]
I'm no Pete Rose I can't pretend[00:00:26]
Though my mind is quite flexible [00:00:34]
These brittle bones don't bend[00:00:38]
I'm growing older but not up[00:00:41]
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck[00:00:46]
Let those winds of time blow over my head[00:00:50]
I'd rather die while I'm living[00:00:55]
Than live while I'm dead[00:00:57]
Sometimes I see me as old manatee[00:01:02]
Headin' south as the waters grow colder[00:01:07]
Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near[00:01:11]
It cuts prop scars deep in his shoulder[00:01:15]
But that's how it goes that's how it goes [00:01:19]
Right to the end[00:01:24]
Though his body's quite flexible [00:01:27]
That barnacle brain don't bend[00:01:32]
I'm growing older but not up[00:01:35]
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck[00:01:39]
Let those winds of time blow over my head[00:01:44]
I'd rather die[00:01:48]
While I'm livin' than live while I'm dead[00:01:49]
Now don't get me wrong[00:02:13]
This is not a sad song[00:02:15]
Just events that I have happened to witness[00:02:17]
And time takes its toll as we head for the poll[00:02:21]
And no one dies from physical fitness[00:02:25]
So what the hell we'll take it right to the end[00:02:30]
As the days grow more complicated the nightlife still wins[00:02:38]
I'm growing older but not up[00:02:46]
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck[00:02:50]
Let those winds of change blow over my head[00:02:55]
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead[00:02:59]
Let those winds of time blow over my head[00:03:03]
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead[00:03:07]
