It's Only On The Outside (That I am Old)
It’s only on the outside that I am old.
Inside
I’m a beach surfer
Running along the sand
Diving, splashing
Riding the waves
Running like I could run forever
It’s only on the outside that I am old.
Inside
I’m a heart breaker
A flirter
A girl chaser
A love making stallion
A beer drinking
Stay out later
No holes barred chance taker
It’s only on the outside that I am old.
Inside
I’m an ace with a tennis serve
I can score a goal and hold my nerve
I’m a grand prix driver
A motorcycle rider
I’m a long distance runner
A heart pumping
Tub thumping
Finest specimen of the rampant male you’ve ever seen
It’s only on the outside that I am old.
Inside
I’m blue eyed and clear skinned
Muscle toned
And fully in the zone
Tuned in and exercised up
And I can see the girl I want
And size her up
And physically and mentally
I can make any numbers up
Its only on the outside that I am old
Inside
I’m connected to the outside
But my memory is on the wane
And the girls I used to chase
Don’t even remember
When I see them face to face
I’m out there
In every kind of weather
Though I could never stand the rain
I sometimes stand and hope to hell
The rain will wash away this outer shell
It's only on the outside that I am old
