Some Things Never Get Old

(feat. Emmylou Harris)



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.



Makin' sweet love to that gal of mine

My first taste of bluebird wine

Eatin' 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.



Ridin' into town with some friends of mine

It's a two-tone Chevy, she's a '59

Ice cold beer in the summertime

Pickin' on the back porch with brother John Prine.



I think livin' is one long highway

I'm bettin' 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...
