Lyrics
As I get older
Reflecting on the process of aging
I might drink a little less
Considering reducing alcohol consumption with age
Put your patience to the test
Testing the patience of others
Make you wonder
Eliciting curiosity or doubt in someone's mind
As I get older
Continuing thoughts on aging
I might open another door
Exploring new opportunities or experiences
Do things I ain't done before
Engaging in activities not done before
Cry on a shoulder
Seeking comfort or support from others
These rings around my eyes they show a man
Physical signs of aging, possibly tired or worn
Who gave up all his time for an old guitar and this mic stand
Devoting time to passion, like playing guitar and singing
If there's anything I've learned from the lines of a road and a whiskey label
Learning from experiences on the road and with alcohol
Time don't wait on you so love her while your able
Emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment in love
As I get older
Continuing reflections on aging
There's still so much left to do
Acknowledging unfinished business or goals
It ain't all just about you
Asserting that life is not solely centered on one person
Like it used to
Contrasting current priorities with past priorities
As I get older
Continuing thoughts on aging
Tiny hands and tiny toes
Describing the features of a newborn baby
Little eyes and a little nose
Highlighting the small details of a child's appearance
Looks just like you
Expressing similarity between the child and someone else
These rings around my eyes they show a man
Reiteration of physical signs of aging
Who gave up all his time for an old guitar and this mic stand
Reemphasizing dedication to musical pursuits
If there's anything I've learned from the lines of a road and a whiskey label
Reiterating lessons learned from life experiences
Time don't wait on you so love him while your able.... As I get older
Stressing the urgency of expressing love while one is able
