Yes, I'm older than my old man now.
He died at 63, that's way too young.
Now you gotta feed me,
Now you gotta need me,
I feel like a faithless son.
64 is awful old.
Yes, and you know what can happen next.
Yeah, I'm older than my old man ever was
And I'm tryna keep it in context.

Yeah, I'm older than my old man now
His father died at 43
From now on it's all gravy, I got 20 years more
Maybe I guess we'll have to wait and see
I wasn't sure the day would come
I've been living underneath his thumb
But I don't feel so free, I don't even feel like me
Now that there's no race left to run

Yes, I'm older than my old man now
I guess that means I kicked his ass
But just 'cause you survived that don't mean you feel alive
And your demise will come to pass
Nobody's sure exactly why
But everybody's got to die
Yes, it comes as quite a blow knowing you got to go
And the world is gonna pass you by

Hey, I'm older than my old man now
Tryna keep it in context
Not only older than my old man ever was
But I'm guilty I've outlived my ex
Not only older than my old man ever was
But I'm guilty I've outlived my ex
This song is from the album "Older Than My Old Man Now".
