Might as well be ten feet tall, built of steel, and twice as strong
With a mind just like a wellspring full of lessons
He wakes up and works while he's still able
Sunday nights around that table
He'll cross his calloused hands and lead the blessing
And he loves Mama every day
She still looks at him the same
He's watched time keep ticking by, but he don't complain

Yeah, we love to sing Forever Young
And hope the trips around the sun start spinning a little slower
And we're scared that if you blink your eyes, your twenties turn to forty-five
And life puts all it's weight there on your shoulders
But if I get half the chance to be like my old man
I ain't afraid of gettin' older

I got a few grays just like him, scars to show the life I've lived
And I'm settling down more with every season
And sure, he's further down the road
But he still shows me where to go
How to live, how to love, how to raise your own ones up

Yeah, we love to sing Forever Young
And hope the trips around the sun start spinning a little slower
And we're scared that if you blink your eyes, your twenties turn to forty-five
And life puts all it's weight there on your shoulders
But if I get half the chance to be like my old man
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
No, no

So, let those years pile up
And let those clocks keep running
'Cause they don't stop for nothing anyway
And that's okay

Yeah, we love to sing Forever Young
And hope the trips around the sun start spinning a little slower
And we're scared that if you blink your eyes, your twenties turn to forty-five
And life puts all it's weight there on your shoulders
But if I get half the chance to be like my old man
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
No, no
If I get half the chance to be like my old man
I ain't afraid of gettin' older
