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
And I feel like a faithless son
Sixty-four is awful old
You know what can happen next
Hey, I’m older than my old man ever was
And I’m trying to keep it in context
Yes, I’m older than my old man now
His father died at 43
From now on it’s all gravy, I got twenty 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
Yeah, I’m older than my old man now
I guess that means I kicked his ass
But just ‘cause you survive, that don’t mean you feel alive
And your demise will come to pass
Nobody’s sure exactly why
Everybody’s got to die
Still it comes as quite a blow, know when you got to go
And the world is gonna pass you by
Yes, I’m older than my old man now
Trying to keep it in context
Not only older than my old man ever was
But I’m guilty to have outlived my ex
