I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
It seems like the day before yesterday I was just a little snotty-nosed kid
And that shock of hair that I had back there went away and hid, yeah it did
But, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
Well, I’d have thought for sure Jesus would have come back by now
I still believe some day I’ll see Him riding that big white horse through the clouds
I believe it even more right now than I did when I was a kid
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
(They thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did)
And I hope I have a few more years before they close that lid
Ah, come on, Larry, we’ve had more fun already than I’d really like to admit
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer
(He thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer)
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
Oh, come on, Kevin, show us your stuff
I’d have thought by now I’d have more money than I do, like you
Oh, but God knows best, we’ve all been blessed
(With more than enough to see us through)
And I wouldn’t trade places with anyone else, heaven and God forbid
Still, I thought gettin’ older would take a lot longer than it did
Now, this simple song is just two minutes long
Come on, Larry, who we trying to kid
But it sure seems like it took a lot longer than it did (thank the Lord)
