Lyrics

Well, the sun don't rise any slower
When you're growing up too fast
And childhood ain't any closer
When you're always looking back
I see it all the time
How I've lost it in my eyes
They don't got that shine like they did

Cause I'm older now
I ain't the kid they all knew me as way back when
I speak for myself
I've seen a few things
I even plan to give a good girl a ring
And I ain't saying these years didn't go by fast
But I'm older now
And I'm alright with that

A simple life was something
I never knew I had
But looking back on my younger years
Showed it slipped my grasp
Like the one time things I didn't soak in
Everything I took for granted
But I know damn well my younger self
Loved the way life happened

Cause I'm older now
I ain't the kid they all knew me as way back when
I speak for myself
I've seen a few things
I even plan to give a good girl a ring
And I ain't saying these years didn't go by fast
But I'm older now
And I'm alright with that

I know I still got a lot of life to live
But maybe one day I'll tell it to all my kids

That I'm older now
I ain't the man they all knew me as way back when
I spoke for myself
I saw a few things
I even got to give a good girl a ring
And I ain't saying these years didn't go by fast
And I don't know how many years I'll last
But I'm older now
And I'm alright with that
Yeah, I'm older now
And I'm damn good with that
