Shoulder Greyhair

[Verse 1]
Found a picture from our very first date
Lord have mercy, look at us back then
She had that smile, same one she's got today
And me, well, I had HAIR and a CHIN

Ten years later she looks even better
Like somebody pressed rewind on time
And me, I found a grey hair in my SHOULDER
Not my head, my SHOULDER, that ain't a good sign

[Chorus]
She ages like wine, getting better every year
Richer and deeper, the kind you hold dear
And I age like milk
Left out on the counter in July
She ages like wine
And I'm just trying not to EXPIRE

[Verse 2]
She wakes up in the morning looking like a painting
Some kind of Renaissance, Botticelli thing
I wake up in the morning looking like I LOST A FIGHT
With the pillow, the sheets, and the ceiling fan string

She went for a run this morning, came back GLOWING
I went for a run this morning, came back WHEEZING
Called her from the sidewalk, said "Come get me"
She found me two blocks away holding my KNEES

[Bridge - Spoken]
Now look
I went to the doctor last month
He said "You need to eat better and exercise"
I said "Doc, have you seen my wife?"
He pulled up her chart
Looked at it
Looked at ME
And said "How?"
Even my DOCTOR doesn't understand

(breath)

But here's the thing
She looks at me the same way she did on day one
Like I'm the only man in the world
And I look in the mirror and think
"Baby, you need GLASSES"
But I ain't about to TELL her that

[Verse 3]
We'll be eighty sitting on the porch some day
She'll still be turning heads at the grocery store
And I'll be the old man in the rocking chair
Saying "Yep, that's MY wife" with no teeth and no HAIR
And she'll hold my wrinkled hand and smile
And I'll think the same thing I've always thought
Katalin, how in the world
Am I the lucky one you CAUGHT?

[Final Chorus]
She ages like wine, and I age like milk
But she chose this carton in all of its guilt
She ages like wine, I'm expired and blessed
And I'll love that woman till there's nothing LEFT

[Outro]
(spoken softly)
Getting old with you, Katalin
That's the best thing I'll ever do
Even if I do it looking like THIS
(laughing)
