The Older You Get

[00:06.63] Looking in the mirror, and you don't look the same
[00:10.80] Girls from your past getting new last names
[00:15.17] High school friends burning out like their cigarettes
[00:20.79] Guess that's what happens the older you get
[00:27.98] Start to wish you could've been 16 forever
[00:31.99] 'Cause you know your favorite band ain't getting back together
[00:36.25] And the nights you don't remember are the nights that you'll never forget
[00:42.20] Guess that's what happens the older you get
[00:53.81] Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh
[01:02.20] And oh, that's just the way it goes, oh
[01:10.92] Life's going good but you wonder what's after
[01:15.02] 'Cause dad's moving slower and time's moving faster
[01:19.31] You hug a little tighter, and you say the things you never said
[01:25.13] Guess that's what happens
[01:27.25] Sometimes the cancer goes away and sometimes it don't
[01:31.51] So now when your mama calls, you always pick up the phone
[01:36.33] And you talk a little longer 'cause tomorrow is not a sure bet, oh-oh
[01:45.22] Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh
[01:53.36] And oh, that's just the way it goes, oh
[02:07.83] Guess that's what happens the older you get, oh-oh
[02:19.16] The house you grew up in is now getting sold
[02:23.41] In a box full of memories that's worth more than gold
[02:27.79] You close your eyes one last time in your childhood bed
[02:33.75] Guess that's what happens, what happens, oh
[02:36.39] Home was a place, now home is a person
[02:40.59] And you're looking at rings 'cause you swear that you're certain
[02:44.85] And the best day of your life becomes the day that the two of you met
[02:50.95] Guess that's what happens the older you get
[02:53.74] Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh
[03:02.04] And oh, that's just the way it goes, oh
[03:10.75] And oh, that is just the way it goes, whoa-oh-oh
[03:19.28] And oh, that is just the way it goes
[03:27.84]
