Some Things Never Get Old

(album: These Days: Disc 3 - The Country And Western Record - 2006)

Have you ever watched the sunset
Disappear in the water down in Mexico
The sky on fire melting into the ocean
Man there's some things that never get old

Have you ever seen a baby walk for the first time
It's like watching a sparrow, a sparrow's wings unfold
When that baby smiles up at you
Man there's some things that never get old

Making sweet love to that gal of mine
My first taste of bluebird wine
Eating watermelon down to the rind
Any old song by brother John Prine

Sometimes that face looking back in the mirror
Make that mirror, make that mirror cold
But in my heart, oh I'm a hundred years younger
Man there's some things that never get old

Riding into town with some friends of mine
It's a two-tone Chevy, she's a '59
Ice cold beer in the summertime
Picking on the back porch with brother John Prine

I think living is one long highway
I'm betting Heaven is at the end of the road
I think love just might be the answer
Man there's some things that never get old

I think love, oh Lord, I know it's the answer
Man there's some things that never get old
