The Older I Get, the Better I Used to Be

Now, cars these days will only do 0-60 in 6.2,
but my old Impala would do it in 4.3
It didn't have a hood or a passenger seat,
but there weren't a car in towI couldn't beat.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

(chorus)
The older I get, the better I used to be.
Reality ain't catchin' up with me.
I just close my eyes and see anything I want to see.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

I lettered in baseball, football and track. I was first-team all-american quarterback.
I won every game..........singlehandedly.
The records said we were 3-8, but I was there... we took state.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

(chorus)
The older I get, the better I used to be.
Reality ain't catchin' up with me.
I just close my eyes and see anything I want to see.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

I was top of the class in correspondence school: majored in welding and power tools.
I was the first on in my family to get a degree.
In my letter jacket an designer jeans, the women just can't get enough of me.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

(chorus)
The older I get, the better I used to be.
Reality ain't catchin' up with me.
I just close my eyes and see anything I want to see.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

I just close my eyes and see anything I want to see.
The older I get, the better I used to be.
