I ain't getting older,
I'm getting better
I ain't getting older, I'm getting better
Now that I'm here and I'm on my way
I got something I want to say
Stand here saying ain't I clean?
Let me your best dear hear what I mean
I ain't getting older, I'm getting better
I ain't getting older, I'm getting better
I started out a long time ago
Shy and fast -moving, and a little bit slow
But at seventeen, I was getting warm
And at twenty -eight,
I was just like the storm
I ain't gettin' older, I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older,
I'm gettin' better
Thirty -nine, I showed you a lot
And at forty -two,
I was still runnin' hot
And at forty -nine,
you think I slowed down, uh -uh
Fifty -two, still a man about time
Ain't getting older,
I'm getting better
Ain't getting older,
I'm getting better
Let's show it to the fellas,
here it is now
That's alright, fellas
Let's try it again
One more time.
Fifty -three, I still was clean.
And I'm fifty -four, still on the scene.
Fifty -five, I'm just playin' alive.
And I'm fifty -six, don't hand me no time.
I look back on life with love for all
I know I ain't gettin' older,
I'm gettin' better
I ain't gettin' older,
I'm gettin' better
Listen to me
Oh
It's all right
Oh
Feel all right
I'm like good whiskey
I'm mellow with age
I'm like good whiskey
I'm mellow with age
Like old man river
Keep rollin' along
Like old man river
Like an man river, keep rolling along
Like an old man river, keep rolling along
I'm getting better,
I'm getting better now
Like an old man keep
I'm getting better,
I'm getting better now
I'm getting better, I'm getting better
Listen to this with me, y 'all
Uh -huh, uh -huh, uh -huh
Uh -huh, uh -huh, uh -huh
I ain't getting older,
I'm getting better now
I ain't getting older,
I'm getting better
Feelin' my cheerio,
feelin' my cheerio
Feelin' my cheerio, feelin' my cheerio
My muscles are standing,
my muscles are standing high
My muscles are standing,
my muscles are standing high
I'm getting older,
I'm getting better now
I'm getting older,
I'm getting better now
Listen
Oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey
Got to repeat a little bit now, listen
At 53, I still was clean
And at 54, still on the scene
55, funkiest man alive
56, can't stand no jive
I ain't getting older, I'm getting better now
I ain't getting older,
I'm getting better now
I'm turning gray,
getting a little bit bald
Look back on life,
with love for all of y 'all
That means everybody
I ain't getting older, I'm getting better
I ain't getting older, I'm getting better
