Younger

JUST YESTERDAY I WAS THINKING
HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH ON MY MIND
THE YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE WAY TOO EASY
SLIPPED AWAY SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME

SO I WALKED ON DOWN BY THE RIVER
DIPPED MY WEARY FEET IN JUST FOR FUN
JUST LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
BUT YOUNGER DON’T MEAN NOTHIN’ WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG

I LISTENED TO THE SOUND OF THE WATER
THOUGHT I HEARD AN OLD TIME MELODY
TOOK ME TO THE FRONT PORCH OF MY CHILDHOOD
EVERYBODY SINGING' HARMONY

GRANDPA USED TO TELL SOME REAL GOOD STORIES
HANDED DOWN FROM FATHER TO HIS SON
SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION MORE I WAS YOUNGER
BUT YOUNGER DON’T MEAN NOTHIN’ WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG

INSTRUMENTAL ½ VERSE

THE WORLD SURE LOOKS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU’RE OLDER
THE THINGS WE TOOK FOR GRANTED ONE BY ONE
YOU MAY NOT THINK ABOUT ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU’RE YOUNGER
CAUSE YOUNGER DON’T MEAN NOTHIN’ WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG

YOU’LL KEEP LONGING' FOR THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER
CAUSE YOUNGER DON’T MEAN NOTHIN’ WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG
