Lyrics
NOT YOUNG ANYMORE Jon Hennessey/Buc Williams(ASCAP)2023
(V1)
What happened to me I'm not young anymore
I see beautiful people, I was once like them
My mind tries to tell me I could be again
I almost believe it till I look at my face
Reality puts me back into my place
Like a dinosaur, I'm not young anymore
(Chorus)
What happened to me will happen to you
If you think that it won't you haven't a clue
Cherish each day, live without regrets
Make lasting memories you'll never forget
Leave the past in the past, open new doors
Cause one day you won't be young anymore
(V2)
What's happened to me I'm not young anymore
I use to be wild, not a care in the world
Out chasing my dreams, out chasing girls
I'd hang with my buddies most every night
Go out bar hoping and get into fights
Now I wake up tired and sore, I'm not young anymore
(Chorus)
What happened to me will happen to you
If you think that it won't you haven't a clue
Cherish each day, live without regrets
Make lasting memories you'll never forget
Leave the past in the past, open new doors
Cause one day you won't be young anymore
(Bridge)
If I've learned anything from my days on this earth
No amount of money can buy what times worth
(Chorus)
What happened to me will happen to you
If you think that it won't you haven't a clue
Cherish each day, live without regrets
Make lasting memories you'll never forget
Leave the past in the past, open new doors
Cause one day you won't be young anymore
Cause someday you won't be young anymore
