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
