Growing Old Lyrics

A young boy with a spark in his eye

The days are long, the nights fly by

I can't wait til I'm a grown man

Plenty of dreams, no real plans

I'm growin' old

Seein' friends, come and go

A young man, just me and my wife

Startin' a family, makin' a life

Seems like I was just in school

Havin' fun, breakin' all the rules

I'm growin' old

Seein' friends, come and go

Workin' all week, payin' the bills

I wish I had more time with the kids

Time, slow down, I want it to last

I love my kids and the times we've had

I'm growin' old

Seein' friends, come and go

Kids bout grown, there in high school

I'm proud of them, their momma is too

We don't want to see them go

They drive away, it hurts my soul

Where's the time gone

Seein' friends, come and go

God, please don't take my mind

Let me see my kids from time to time

You've always been good to me

It's not at all what I imagined, it'd be

Gettin' Old

Seein' friends, come and go
