Older Lyrics

Traveling home on the forty-five

Don't know the limit, just need some time to erase my thoughts

Make it to Tucson, a quarter to nine

Grab my guitar and tell myself to take some time, and write my mind

Get to Houston by Tuesday night

And settle in at home just in time to say goodnight

Make sure my mom and my dad are fine

Check with my sisters to kill some time, and say goodbye, then head back home

Oh, I'm older and I'm colder than I want to be

I know, just take some time and talk with me

Oh, I'm older and I'm colder than I thought I'd be

But please just talk to me

Traveling west on the forty-five

Got some time, and an open mind to arrange my thoughts

Stop in Prescott to spend the night

Ask myself if I'm chasing lies and wasting time, take it all

Oh, I'm older and I'm colder than I want to be

I know, just take some time and walk with me

Oh, I'm older and I'm colder than I thought it'd be

Please just walk with me

Oh, I'm older and I'm colder than I want to be

I know, just take some time and talk with me

Oh, life's colder and it's shorter than I thought it'd be

So please just talk to me
