From the recording Time To Get Real
Lyrics
Old & Wise
It’s the end of the world when your heart stops beatin
When your body gets cold, you start loosing the feelin
But I ain’t gonna die for a long time yet
I’ll be around for a long time, you can bet
Well I hope that I grow old and wise
See the Autumn days of my life
With you my love still by my side
Oh I hope that I grow old and wise
Don’t wanna overdose like a rockin-roll star
Or choke on my vomit after whiskey in the jar
I’m getting fire in my belly now the older I get
I’m gonna live my life with no regret
Don’t wanna burn out like a shooting star
Or end up in a wreckage in a flash sports car
I wanna cruise down the motorway when I’m 75
With my guitar in the back and my woman by my side
Well I hope that I grow old and wise
Live the twilight years of my life
With you my love still by my side
Oh I hope that I grow old and wise
