[Verse1] I’m an old man now I make sounds when I sit I’m an old man now And I don’t mind a bit I’m an old man now Retired at 65 I’m an old man now Surprised I’m still alive [Chorus 1] I remember the days I rarely took aspirin now there’s a whole tray to put my medications in I used to go to the doctor just once a year now I see so many plus some nurse practitioneers [Verse 2] I’m an old man now Got stories to spare I’m an old man now I’ll tell them anywhere I’m an old man now Sometimes twice in a row I’m an old man now Once is enough, I know, I know [Chorus 2] I used to walk into rooms and know just why I came now I stand there thinking “why am I here again?” I remember the days when my back didn’t ache now I stretch out after every step I take [Verse 3] I’m an old man now That I’m on medicare I’m an old man now With much less headly hair I’m an old man now See it in my face I’m an old man now Wrinkles won’t erase [Chorus 3] The name on the mailbox didn’t change But the man living there now is of old age Still not a bad place to be I hear myself say these days I get to do nothing but play [Bridge] When I was young I would hear (‘THOSE DARN KIDS TODAY!’) Today I hear people still say it just the same way Back then it was ‘Need more cowbell!’ and ‘Where’s the beef!’ Now it’s “six seven”, where's the imagination, oh good grief! [Verse 4] I’m an old man now And I take up more space I’m an old man now Moving at my own pace I’m an old man now I have a certain way Glad to have this life Glad to have this day [Chorus 4] The world spins faster, I move kind of slow but I see things now, oh! if I’d only known Less in a hurry, more time to be me Found my own happiness and that is the key
