Lyrics Paul Gilbert

Paul Gilbert

Older Guy

I had a birthday, my oh my

I turned into an older guy

And older guy is what the girls will say

When they try to tell their mom and dad

That maybe it won't be so bad

At least he's got a job and isn't gray

Yet

It's right around the corner

Yeah the time is sneaking up

It keeps on getting faster every year

But I'll be happy as can be

With pretty girls too young for me

They talk and talk, but I can barely hear

I have a girl of 25

She hasn't even been alive

As long as I've been playing this guitar

She treats me like her little boy

I must admit I do enjoy

Pretending that I'm younger than I are

And

She wants to start a family, but in a year or so

I may not have the strength to raise a kid

Cause if a child rides piggyback

I think that you would hear a crack

And see me break in two just like a twig

I had a birthday yesterday

It came and went and now today

It's time to get back to my normal life

Where I forget how old am I

And walk down to the junior high

To see if any girls will be my wife

No

I don't think it will happen

And you probably think I'm wrong

For chasing younger girls in leather boots

But I am harmless as can be

I'll show you if you want to see

My gun will aim, but it no longer shoots
