[English]

I'm older than I wish to be

This town holds no more for me

All my life, I try to find another way

I don't care for your attitude

You bring me down, I think you're rude

All my life, I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone (being alone)

Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)

Waiting for my memories to come and play

It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)

Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)

It's all too much for me to take when you're not there (not there)

...

It's hard enough being alone (being alone)

Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)

Waiting for my memories to come and play

It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)

Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)

It's all too much for me to take when you're not there (not there)

I'm older than I wish to be

This town holds no more for me

All my life I try to find another way (another way)

I don't care for your attitude

You bring me down, I think you're rude

All my life, I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone (being alone)

Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)

Waiting for my memories to come and play

It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)

Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)

It's all too much for me to take when you're not there (not there)
