When I was younger Bursting out of bed with that energy I was like sugar and milk, ma! sugar and milk, ma Then I got older I'm not sure how, but it's happening to me Standing up here on this stage in a ruffled shirt Thinking 'bout when I was younger Running down the sidewalk Running full speed down the end of the street saying Come on boys, we're all digging to China Oh, but now I'm older, brighter, wise beyond my years Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup Burning my lip May catch a fit if I don't take a sip But I've got that cold, cold cream to smooth it out some Spoon full of sugar, spoon full of sugar Help that medicine go down Stick in the mud and now I'm watching the suds Spin around and around and around around around around Running down the sidewalk Bah, I missed my bus But now the 219 ain't the only thing That I'm waiting on to come pick me up Cause I'm older, brighter, wise beyond my years Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup Running down the sidewalk Running full speed down the end of the street But now the 219, well ain't the only thing That I'm waiting on to come pick me up Cause I'm older, brighter, wise beyond my years Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup Oh Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup
