Dusty Bottles

(album: A Beautiful Time - 2022)

There's something to be said for getting older
Dusty bottles pour a finer glass of wine
An old beat-up guitar just sounds better
And wisdom only comes with time
I can spot mistakes before they happen
Separate the BS from the truth
I'm learning when I need to keep my mouth shut
Like I couldn't in my wild and wasted youth

Don't get me wrong
It's good being young
But there's something to be said for getting wrinkles
Every song worth singin's got those lines
And there's nothing you can do, it's gonna happen
Sit down and drink a beer with father time

Don't get me wrong
I miss being young
But there's something to be said for getting older
And aging seems to mellow out the mind
Memories are made to sip and savour
And dusty bottles pour a finer glass of wine
