Eric Hagen - Older Than I Could Lyrics

A run down shack in a tired town is all you have to claim
Burned out fakes and lily lakes and no one left to blame
Younger than I should
But I'm older than I could
Rescued me from a pack of dogs that'll eat you when you sleep
Baseball fields and steering wheels and horseplay in too deep
Younger than I should
But I'm older than I could
It's dark outside but the lights spin round like stars upon my wall
Shuffled round and up and down when the hammer took the fall
Younger than I should
But I'm older than I could
Come on in they said it's fine just rest your head and weep
Spinning tops and angry mobs your innocence won't keep
Younger than I should
But I'm older than I could
Behind the shed she played her part like an engine that won't quit
Make your move with nothing to lose except your nerve and wit
Younger than I should
But I'm older than I could
Younger than I should
But I'm older than I could
Than I could
