Larry Joe Taylor - The Older I Get lyrics

The crack of the bat, the crowd cheers I close my eyes, lean back in my chair Pretending that the man waving at the fans is me I circle the bases as the credits roll Drift off in a dream 'til the next thing I know I'm out on the field and it's nineteen seventy-three With my uniform on I was the happiest kid Diving head first whenever I slid I played with a pa**ion that was somthin' else to see Now with one big break, I know I could'a made it Players these days are so overrated Yeah, the older I get the better I used to be (Chorus) I played center field, I was number three Hey, I bet they're still talkin' 'bout me 'Cause I could hit and I could throw When the lights came on I was a one man show Funny how it seems The older I get the better I used to be Now did I ever tell ya about the big play When I hit a triple and saved the day Man, my dad was so proud of me And I don't tell just anyone this But my senior year, I was one of the best Yeah, the older I get the better I used to be (Chorus) Now in a couple of years I'll be havin' to explain Why my jersey's not hanging in the hall of fame 'Cause the older I get the better I used to be
