Thought Gettin' Older Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did
It seems like the day before
Yesterday I was just a little snotty-nosed kid
That shock of hair that I had back there went away and hid
Yeah, it did
But I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

[Verse 2]
Well I'd have thought for sure Jesus would've come back by now
(Thought he would, thought he would)
I still believe someday I'll see Him
Riding that big white horse through the clouds
I believe it even more right now than I did when I was a kid
Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did
(They thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did)

[Verse 3]
And I hope I have a few more years before they close that lid
Ah, come on, Larry We've had more fun already than I'd really like to admit
Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer
(He thought gettin' older would take a lot longer)
Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did
Oh, come on, Kevin, show us your stuff

[Verse 4]
I'd thought by now I'd have more money than I do
(Thought he would, thought he would)
Oh, but God knows best, we've all been blessed
(with more than enough to see us through)
And I wouldn't trade places with anyone else, heaven and God forbid
Still I thought gettin' older would take a lot longer than it did

[Outro]
Now this simple song is just two minutes long
Come on, Larry, who we trying to kid?
But it sure seems like it took a lot longer than it did
(Thank the Lord)
