[00:0.0]The Older I Get - Larry Joe Taylor
[00:10.12]The crack of the bat
[00:12.61]The crowd cheers
[00:14.56]I close my eyes
[00:16.78]Lean back in my chair
[00:19.15]Pretending that the man
[00:21.88]Waving at the fans is me
[00:28.74]I circle the bases as the credits roll
[00:33.43]Drift off in a dream
[00:35.68]Till the next thing I know
[00:38.26]I'm out on the field
[00:40.55]And it's nineteen seventy three
[00:47.4]With my uniform on
[00:49.26]I was the happiest kid
[00:52.7]Diving head first whenever I slid
[00:57.13]I played with a passion
[00:59.18]That was somthin' else to see
[01:11.8]Now with one big break
[01:14.87]I know I couldn't made it
[01:19.]Players these days are so overrated
[01:26.6]Yeah the older I get
[01:30.23]The better I used to be
[01:41.85]I played center field
[01:45.68]I was number three
[01:49.3]Hey I bet they're still talking about me
[01:58.]Cause I could hit
[01:62.]And I could throw
[01:64.53]When the lights came on
[01:68.65]I was a one man show
[01:79.73]Funny how it seems
[01:91.05]The older I get
[01:95.18]The better I used to be
[02:16.95]Now did I ever tell you
[02:19.5]About the big play
[02:23.77]When I hit a triple
[02:26.08]And saved the day
[02:29.92]Man my dad
[02:34.13]Was so proud of me
[02:47.13]And I don't tell just anyone this
[02:54.83]But my senior year
[02:57.52]I was one of the best
[02:61.5]Yeah the older I get
[02:65.53]The better I used to be
[02:76.97]I played center field
[02:80.55]I was number three
[02:84.48]Hey I bet they're still talking about me
[02:93.4]Cause I could hit
[02:97.48]And I could throw
[03:00.35]When the lights came on
[03:03.97]I was a one man show
[03:16.37]Funny how it seems
[03:26.73]The older I get
[03:30.15]The better I used to be
[03:51.9]Now in a couple of years
[03:53.87]I'll be havin' to explain
[03:59.78]Why my jersey's not hanging in the hall of fame
[03:65.28]Cause the older I get
[03:70.1]The better I used to be
