A Little Bit Slower

Mmm, a little bit slower;

But I still get there fine;

I used to chase the finish line;

Like a dog on a bone;

Now I stop to pet the dog and leave the bone alone;

My knees pop like a campfire when

I stand up from this chair;

But I stood up;

That's the part that matters here, a little bit slower;

But I still get there fine, a little bit grayer;

But I'm still in my right mind;

A little bit softer in the middle;

Sure, but a little bit wiser than

I was before;

My daughter taught me Tik Toks,

I still don't understand;

But I smiled and nodded like a real old gentleman;

My ex-wife's new husband waves at me sometimes;

Hell, I wave back;

Life's too short for fighting lines;

A little bit slower;

But I still get there fine;

A little bit grayer;

But I'm still in my right mind;

A little bit softer;

In the middle, sure;

But a little bit wiser;

Than I was before;

The doctor says more cardio,

I say more like less;

The mirror shows a map of every little stress;

But I kinda like the map, it means

I didn't quit;

I just learned to drive a little slower, and that's legit;

A little bit slower;

But I still get there fine;

A little bit grayer;

But I'm still in my right mind;

A little bit softer;

In the middle sure;

But a little bit wiser;

Than I was before;

A little bit slower;

Still get there fine, yeah;

Still get there fine;

Mmm, mmm, yeah;
