[Verse 1] When I'm older, maybe then I'll take it a little slower When Summer starts to turn into October I'll take the time to look over my shoulder When I'm older [Chorus 1] Right now, it's straight ahead Gonna do all the things I haven't done yet No apologies, no regrets Gonna make the kind of memories we'll never forget I wanna make a lot of big mistakes Live and love and learn the hard way 'Cause these are gonna be the good old days Someday, when I'm older [Verse 2] When I'm older, and I've lived a real good life that's almost over And the end of this road is getting closer I might turn the music down a little lower When I'm older [Chorus 2] Right now, I'm gonna turn it up Sing every song at the top of my lungs
Dance every dance just for fun Do it all while I'm still young I wanna make a lot of big mistakes Live and love and learn the hard way 'Cause these are gonna be the good old days Someday, when I'm older [Bridge] When I'm older When I'm older, I might take the time to look over my shoulder But not just yet 'cause [Outro] Right now, it's straight ahead Gonna do all the things I haven't done yet No apologies, no regrets Gonna make the kind of memories we'll never forget I wanna make a lot of big mistakes Live and love and learn the hard way 'Cause these are gonna be the good old days someday 'Cause these are gonna be the good old days someday When I'm older When I'm older, yeah Oh ooh, oh ooh yeah When I'm older
