They don't hurry, that's for sure Get up early, but they don't have to anymore They'll keep that old car shinning, even if it's just to drive it to the store Or to that church they love, where they're the first ones through the door Their babies are their babies, no matter how old they get A stranger ain't a stranger, just a friend they ain't met yet There's kindness, there's wisdom, and the heart of a child behind those wrinkles Man I love, old people She's got pictures, page after page He's got stories, and a pocket full of change "After all these years together... she's as beautiful as ever..." That's what he'll say When you see one, you can bet the other ain't far away Their babies are their babies, no matter how old they get A stranger ain't a stranger, just a friend they ain't met yet There's kindness, there's wisdom, and the heart of a child behind those wrinkles Man I love, old people The more I watch them, more like 'em I wanna be... less worried, more love Sounds like they've got it figured out to me Their babies are their babies, no matter how old they get A stranger ain't a stranger, just a friend they ain't met yet There's kindness, there's wisdom, and the heart of a child behind those wrinkles Lord I love, old people
