[Verse 1] She keeps a calendar in her craft room Just marking off the days Her family doesn't call no more 'Cause they all moved away Her brother visits now and then When there's a reason for the drive The cost of fuel has put a stop to Everyone just dropping by [Chorus] She ain’t getting any younger But she’s got less to prove There’s a veggie patch out back A good pair of boots to use She can wave to the neigbours When they're walking past her door They always have a chat with her She couldn't ask for more [Verse 2] She walks down to the corner shop Where she goes to collect her post And every weekend without a miss She cooks her Sunday roast She spends time in her garden Her mind wanders far away She plants her colour in the spring And watches it growing every day [Chorus] She ain’t getting any younger But she’s got less to prove There’s a veggie patch out back A good pair of boots to use She can wave to the neigbours When they're walking past her door They always have a chat with her She couldn't ask for more [Bridge] Maybe love is not a front-porch swing Or words you never got to say Maybe it’s tending to her gardens And finding quiet ways to stay [Final Chorus] She ain’t getting any younger She still loves the skies of blue There’s warm scones on the counter For family passing through She can laugh away the loneliness And pretend she doesn't care But her thoughts stray often to the past And her heart somewhere out there [Outro] She knows life is what you make it And she learned to know herself She stopped wishing life was different And learned to love it where it fell Yeah she ain't getting any younger But she knows she's doing well Mmmm Yeah she's doing well..
