You know you're getting older when?..

[Michie]

Verse 1: Jordan Davis]
Few days before he turned 80
He was sitting out back in a rocker
He said “What you been up to lately?”
I told him chasing a dollar
And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said “If you want my two cents on making a dollar count

[Chorus: Jordan Davis]
Buy dirt
Find the one you can’t live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencils marks, and the grass in the yard
All grow up
‘Cause the truth about it is it all goes by real quick
You can’t buy happiness
But you can buy dirt”

[Verse 2: Luke Bryan]
Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it’s all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out

[Chorus: Jordan Davis & Luke Bryan]
Buy dirt
Find the one you can’t live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send you prayers up and your roots down deep
And add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencils marks, and the grass in the yard
All grow up
‘Cause the truth about it is it all goes by real quick
You can’t buy happiness
But you can buy dirt

[Bridge: Jordan Davis & Luke Bryan]
You can buy dirt
And thank the good Lord for it
‘Cause He ain’t makin’ any more of it

[Chorus: Jordan Davis, Luke Bryan, Both ]
So buy dirt
Find the one you can’t live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencils marks, and the grass in the yard
All grow up
‘Cause the truth about it is it all goes by real quick
You can’t buy happiness
But you can buy dirt.

I know what this is like. I have horrible sleep problems. Seems anything and everything keeps me up. It's not natural. There are worse things though.

Never underestimate another's situation unless you've walked in their shoes.

I so agree but in this life we seldom get what we want. You know what everyone says, grin and bear it and learn the lesson God wants you to learn from it. God bless you.

The lesson seems to be there's no point doing anything because time is being sped up

Besides when you sacrifice 10 years of your life for another and God responds by unleashing Satan upon you, it doesn't make you care what God wants

we all have bad days, lol

 

[linux.poet]

When your hair starts getting dry and breaking
when the cold makes your joints sore
when the acne on your face is gone
when you have to get glasses to drive
when your friends start to die
when you are watching YouTube channels from people more successful than you who are also younger than you

Then,
you know you are getting older
and the date of your death is calling louder
ever nearer
coming closer

 

[Aryeh Jay]

When you can tell the cashier at McDonalds what your change should be faster than she can punch in the numbers.

 

[Aussie Pete]

You know your out of touch when? Either or?
You know you're getting older when?


Your son is wearing your old jeans?

You have to scroll a few minutes to find your age in a drop down.

No one asks me for my seniors card now. It's taken for granted.
I throw my jeans out when they get worn out. Perhaps I should sell them for a couple of hundred bucks to a teenager.

You know you are getting older when you start Monday morning by refilling your plastic daily pill container for the week.

You know you're getting older when you look at your coworkers and realize you've been on the job before most of them were even born.

 

[Hammster]

When I’m older than most of the parents of the trainees in my truck.

When you see expensive antiques and remember one just like it you recently threw out.

 

[Tuur]

When you see things you remember people using as exhibits in a museum.
