《Growing Older But Not Up(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Growing Older But Not Up - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:09] I rounded first never thought of the worst

[00:00:13] As I studied the shortstop's position

[00:00:17] Crack went my leg like the shell of an egg

[00:00:21] Someone call a decent physician

[00:00:26] I'm no Pete Rose I can't pretend

[00:00:34] Though my mind is quite flexible

[00:00:38] These brittle bones don't bend

[00:00:41] I'm growing older but not up

[00:00:46] My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck

[00:00:50] Let those winds of time blow over my head

[00:00:55] I'd rather die while I'm living

[00:00:57] Than live while I'm dead

[00:01:02] Sometimes I see me as old manatee

[00:01:07] Headin' south as the waters grow colder

[00:01:11] Tries to steer clear of the hum-drum so near

[00:01:15] It cuts prop scars deep in his shoulder

[00:01:19] But that's how it goes that's how it goes

[00:01:24] Right to the end

[00:01:27] Though his body's quite flexible

[00:01:32] That barnacle brain don't bend

[00:01:35] I'm growing older but not up

[00:01:39] My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck

[00:01:44] Let those winds of time blow over my head

[00:01:48] I'd rather die

[00:01:49] While I'm livin' than live while I'm dead

[00:02:13] Now don't get me wrong

[00:02:15] This is not a sad song

[00:02:17] Just events that I have happened to witness

[00:02:21] And time takes its toll as we head for the poll

[00:02:25] And no one dies from physical fitness

[00:02:30] So what the hell we'll take it right to the end

[00:02:38] As the days grow more complicated the nightlife still wins

[00:02:46] I'm growing older but not up

[00:02:50] My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck

[00:02:55] Let those winds of change blow over my head

[00:02:59] I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead

[00:03:03] Let those winds of time blow over my head

[00:03:07] I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead
