The older I get the better I was

I recently stumbled across this music video and couldn't help taking an immediate liking to it.

I've never listened to this song before because, nowadays, I'm music illiterate with a preference to silence is golden time rather than music blasting in my ears and drowning my thoughts.  

But this one makes me come out of my auditory hibernation because the lyrics resonate many yesteryear young-man memories while ringing an even louder reminder that I'm now a middle-aged man.    

Yup, Big Joe Shelton got it right; the older I get the better I was.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
