You know, I’ve been listening to “The Older I Get” lately, and it’s really struck a chord with me. It’s one of those songs that feels like a conversation with an old friend—comforting, honest, and filled with wisdom. The artist beautifully captures the nuances of aging, not just in years but in experiences and lessons learned.
What makes this song so special is how it wraps introspection in relatable melodies. It doesn’t just dwell on the passage of time; it celebrates the growth that comes with it. Every time I hear it, I find myself reflecting on my own journey—the ups, the downs, and the unexpected turns that have shaped who I am today.
Have you ever had a song make you pause and just feel for a moment? That’s exactly what this does for me. It’s a gentle reminder to appreciate where we’ve been and to look forward with hope and a bit more understanding

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The older I get
The more I think
You only get a minute, better live while you’re in it
‘Cause it’s gone in a blink
And the older I get
The truer it is
It’s the people you love, not the money and stuff
That makes you rich
[Chorus]
And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn’t drink a drop and that’s the truth
Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet
[Verse 2]
The older I get
The fewer friends I have
But you don’t need a lot when the ones that you got
Have always got your back
And the older I get
The better I am
At knowing when to give
And when to just not give a damn
[Chorus]
And if they found a fountain of youth
I wouldn’t drink a drop and that’s the truth
Funny how it feels I’m just getting to my best years yet
The older I get
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And I don’t mind all the lines
From all the times I’ve laughed and cried
Souvenirs and little signs of the life I’ve lived
[Verse 3]
The older I get
The longer I pray
I don’t know why, I guess that I’ve
Got more to say
And the older I get
The more thankful I feel
For the life I’ve had, and all the life I’m living still
