The Babies - Got Old lyrics

I was twenty-one, I was thirty-three I was just a child when I was seventeen I got old [repeat 3 times] In every year it is a different number In every meal it's more like my father I got old [repeat 3 times] And now I'm comfortable within this world And it's all I know I'm not ready to go Miles around you You feel like my mother beneath the shoulder of my father Yeah they were young once, Yeah in their own right They were like us. I had a friend just like a child Let him stay young, young and wild. Never got old, never got old He died so young Let the days move slow as everyone I know grows old Let through them grow. I will come back old And the year which I hold in me Which I hold in me [Repeat 3 times] Now there's nothing to do in this town There's nothing to do in this town anymore And no one is left around There nothing to do in this town anymore Oh lord, I got old I got old [repeat 6 times] When I was young Man, I was younger You should have seen me I was on fire
