Song Description
"the older I get
the better I was"
As we get older our stories get bigger, the tales get taller, and unless you were there back in the day no one can prove that your stories aren't true. This track had a lot of energy, and a great sing along hook that makes it a lot of fun. The tune has a country flavor but could be performed as a folk or rock song, by either gender. If you like playing songs that get an audience to smile and can relate to, this is the one.

Lyrics
The Better I Was
by Ted Lehman
Copyright © 2011
I've been around
Done lots of stuff,
some of it easy,
Most of it tough.
I tell lot's of stories
folks can't get enough,
the older I get
the better I was.
I was the leader
of a rock 'n roll band
I got people dancin'
with a wave of my hand,
I was king of the world,
universally loved.
the older I get,
the better I was
If I got your ear
then you got my love
the older I get,
the better I was
I was better than most
you can't prove me wrong
I do my thing
like singin' my song
I don't do it for kisses
don't do it for hugs
the older I get,
the better I was
the older I get,
the better I was
Don't got any proof
what I say is the truth
it's all up to you
to call my bluff
the older I get,
the better I was
