Younger Every Day - Howard Livingston & the Mile Marker 24 Band

Younger Every Day Lyrics

HE WALKED INTO THE DMV
THEY REQUIRED A DRIVIN’ TEST
AT 83
AS I STOOD BEHIND HIM IN THAT LINE
I COULDN’T HELP BUT WONDER
WHAT WAS ON HIS MIND
LADY SAID I’M SORRY
YA GOTTA DRIVE FOR US TODAY
HE JUST SMILED AT HER
THEN I HEARD HIM SAY
I MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE OLDER
MIGHT MOVE A LITTLE SLOWER
DON’T BE MISTAKEN BY THESE WRINKLES ON MY FACE
I CAN STILL GET ‘ER DONE
GOT A LOT A RACES YET TO RUN

YOU SEE I’M HEADED THE OTHER WAY
I’M GETTING YOUNGER EVERY DAY
HE SAID BACK IN 1944, I FLEW A PLANE IN THE WAR
AND SOMEHOW I MADE IT BACK
THEN SWEET MARIE BECAME MY WIFE
BUT CANCER LATER TOOK HER LIFE
THE GOOD LORD HELPED ME GET THROUGH THAT
WHAT YOU’RE ASKIN OF ME HERE
AIN’T NO BIG DEAL
I CLIMBED SOME MOUNTAINS
THIS IS JUST A HILL
I MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE OLDER
I MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE SLOWER
DON’T BE MISTAKEN BY THESE WRINKLES ON MY FACE
I CAN STILL GET HER DONE
GOT A LOT OF RACES YET TO RUN
YOU SEE I’M HEADED THE OTHER WAY
I’M GETTIN’ YOUNGER EVERY DAY
HE SAID I NEVER EVER DID REGRET
BUYIN’ THAT 62 CORVETTE
AND THAT’S WHAT WE’LL BE RIDIN’ IN TODAY
YOU MIGHT WANT TO WEAR A HAT
CAUSE WHEN I LAY THAT RAGTOP BACK
IT’S GONNA BLOW YOUR HAIR AWAY
I WALKED OUTSIDE AND WATCHED HIM
AS HE PULLED AWAY
REALIZED WHAT THAT OLD MAN
TAUGHT ME THAT DAY
I MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE OLDER
I MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE SLOWER
DON’T BE MISTAKEN BY THESE WRINKLES ON MY FACE
I CAN STILL GET HER DONE
GOT A LOT OF RACES YET TO RUN
YOU SEE I’M HEADED THE OTHER WAY
I’M GETTIN’ YOUNGER EVERY DAY
