(Verse 1)
Remember back when the clock spun fast?
Those days are long, they flew right past.
You were a legend, a neighborhood myth,
Causing a ruckus with a confident glint.
The stories grow taller with every new year,
Chasing away every doubt and every fear.
You're shining a light on those younger-day scenes,
Like they were perfectly planned out routines!
(Chorus)
Oh, the older I get, the better I was!
It’s the golden rule, it’s because, because, because!
The past gets polished, the edges get smooth,
Every triumph is easy to prove.
The older I get, the better I was,
Putting the good old days in a righteous cause!
(Verse 2)
Now folks might whisper 'bout youthful mischief done,
Or crazy adventures beneath the hot sun.But you just smile with a knowing, bright eye,
"Those were just practice for when I learned to fly!"
They might recall tales of a mischievous streak,
But you see a future hero, humble and meek...
Who almost got caught, but always broke free,
A master planner for all the world to see!
(Chorus)
Oh, the older I get, the better I was!
It’s the golden rule, it’s because, because, because!
The past gets polished, the edges get smooth,Every triumph is easy to prove.
The older I get, the better I was,
Putting the good old days in a righteous cause!
(Bridge)
Now, some folks find comfort in a warm, cozy mug,
Maybe with sugar, or just a nice hug.
But if that hot water comes near your domain,
You'll clear out the room like a sudden strong rain!No sweet, no unsweet, no green or black blend,
That steeped, leafy drink is a foe to the end!
We’ll stick to the water that flows ever true,
And leave that brown beverage for someone brand new!
(Chorus)
Oh, the older I get, the better I was!It’s the golden rule, it’s because, because, because!
The past gets polished, the edges get smooth,
Every triumph is easy to prove.The older I get, the better I was,
Putting the good old days in a righteous cause!
(Outro)
Yeah, the older you are, the better you were,
A story so grand, it’s a genuine stir!
Keep telling those tales, let the legend unfold,The best part of you is yet to be told!
