Don’t Get Old Songtext

von J Roddy Walston and the Business

I can't afford you Baltimore I got a prostitute to pay my rent.
Dressed in black and I don't look back.
In the business suit that mama sent.
We're so young baby
We're so young I stole the fruit from your family tree
I stole the fruit from your family tree Then I went and sold the family beard
Now everybody's looking at me.
We're so young baby We're so young

Don't get old mama
Don't get old Don't get old mama
Young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered
Your through.

I left the south with a bible mouth
But the drawl makes it easy to shake it.
Cock came and cursed the egg,
But he can't curse the hen who laid it
We're so young baby
We're so young I made you make that baby weight
I made you make that baby weight
Your jargon tits
And your low cut lips
You look timeless you look great.
We're so young baby We're so young

Don't get old mama Don't get old
Don't get old mama
Young life is bold
Don't get remembered
When you're remembered
Your through
