Rick wrote this song when he was about 18; it reflects what he thought getting older was all about at that time.

Lyrics:
Think of a time
that you didn’t mind
Bus Terminal Blues
and canvas shoes
And all you have to lose
is 58 cents

What's happened now
Do you even know how
Your life’s such a mess
And the way that you dress
Well you’d never have guessed
That you’d be selling insurance

Hey where’d you go
Hey don’t you know
You're just getting older

Remember those times
hanging out with your friends
And the way that you would laugh
and the way you would pretend
it would all get better

Those times are gone forever
You went to all their weddings
You were the best man
You were the best man

You can’t kid your kids
or keep on a lid
Hiding your age
on a neat little stage
Inside the pages
of ladies home journal

Hey where’d you go
Hey don’t you know
You're just getting older
Just getting,
Just getting
Just getting older
