Song Description

This is a song about noticing life getting older all around you, and realizing you might be too.

Lyrics

This old town once impressed me. Now I?ve seen it all before.
Used to be so big and exciting. Now it?s the same store after store.
But I?ll give it one more chance to impress me, one last miracle mile.
I?ll sit back; take it all in; Come on town, give me just one reason to smile.

This old car was a beauty. Smooth as silk at a hundred and ten.
A soft cushion in the middle for the late night dinners and drive-ins.
But now it?s making camp in my backyard, this dirty, rusty metal load.
I?ll take a seat inside. Come on car: give me one more for the road.

Age to age, there?s nothing I can do to stop the fading to gray.
How I wish I could animate the pictures for one more yesterday.

This old shirt used to wear me like it knew every inch of my skin.
Make me look so casually cool. I was confident. I was in.
But now, it?s doing time in my closet, hoping to be paroled.
I?ll try to squeeze myself in it. Come on shirt. One of us is getting old.

Age to age, there?s nothing I can do to revive those way-back-whens.
My baby tries to explain it. And she speaks to me with a curious grin:

This old boy used to bring me flowers and cards. Not just the mail.
He used to open doors and sing me love songs, and dance till midnight,
I?ll give him one more chance to impress me; some things change, but never die.
A late night dinner in an old t-shirt. Come on, baby. Maybe even take a drive?This old me, and this old you.
