Who Told You I Am Old?

Old men at seventeen?

Who told you I am old?

Gray hair now outset and flow

There must be thousands of them still to show

Wrinkled skin, smothered glow

But I can still dance and make it a go

I have no time to count years of my life

What I wanted to do, to give the best of my side

Want to fly high and see the stars go by

Want to wear my old jeans and take my bike

Until I decided to take a hike

I might be a little slow

But I can still make it and give it a blow

I’m seventy but still feels like seventeen

So many things that I have seen

Too many things that I want to be in

I’m seventy but still feels like seventeen
