Jimmy Buffett - Growing Older But Not Up lyrics

[Jimmy Buffett - Growing Older But Not Up lyrics]

I rounded first never thought of the worst
As I studied the shortstop's position
Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg
Someone call a decent physician

I'm no Pete Rose i can't pretend
Though my mind is quite flexible
These brittle bones don't bend

I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those winds of time blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living
Than live while I'm dead

Sometimes I see me as old manatee
Headin' south as the waters grow colder
Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near
It cuts prop scars deep in his shoulder

But that's how it goes right to the end


Though his body's quite flexible
That barnacle brain don't bend

I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those winds of time blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm livin'
Than live while I'm dead

Now don't get me wrong
This is not a sad song
Just events that I have happened to witness
And time takes it's toll as
We head for the poll
And no one dies from physical fitness

So what the hell?
We'll take it right to the end
As the days grow more complicated
The nightlife still wins

I'm growing older but not up
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck
Let those winds of change blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living
Than live while I'm dead

Let those winds of time blow over my head
I'd rather die while I'm living
Than live while I'm dead
