"The Older I Get, The More I Feel”

“ Verse 1 I used to run like lightning through the fields behind the barn, Never thought about tomorrow, never worried I’d get worn. But these days when I bend down, somethin’ pops or somethin’ aches, And I laugh because I swear I’m still the kid I used to chase. Verse 2 My hair’s gettin’ stubborn, turnin’ silver in the sun, And my stories keep on growin’ every time I tell someone. But there’s wisdom in the wrinkles and the miles beneath my boots, And I’m learnin’ how to treasure every sunrise, every truth. Chorus The older I get, the more I feel, Life ain’t about the speed, it’s about what’s real. I’ve lost some friends, I’ve gained some grace, Seen heartbreak carve a softer place. Yeah, time keeps movin’, but I’m standin’ still Learnin’ how to live with a heart that feels. Verse 3 I used to chase the big things, try to prove what I could be, Now I find my peace in quiet, in the porch light, in the breeze. And the mirror shows a stranger, but the eyes are still my own, Just a little more forgiving, just a little more grown. Verse 4 I don’t remember givin’ time permission to go fast, But it took the wheel and drove me from my future to my past. Still I’m grateful for the journey, every stumble, every scar, ‘Cause they made me who I am — and I kinda like this part. Chorus The older I get, the more I feel, Life ain’t about the speed, it’s about what’s real. I’ve lost some friends, I’ve gained some grace, Seen heartbreak carve a softer place. Yeah, time keeps movin’, but I’m standin’ still Learnin’ how to live with a heart that feels. Bridge Maybe growin’ old ain’t losin’ youth, Maybe it’s just findin’ truth. And maybe every year that fades Leaves somethin’ stronger in its place. Final Chorus The older I get, the more I feel, Life’s a crooked road, but the love’s still real. I’ll take the aches, I’ll take the lines, They’re proof I’ve lived a damn good time. Yeah, time keeps movin’, but I always will Keep learnin’ how to live with a heart that feels.
