Verse 1
tell me what's your story?
How old are you,
tell me when did you start?
Are you in it for the money
or the glory?
Do you still have the brains,
the guts and the heart?
you were so much better
When you were younger
you were really hot
and you're colder than ever
B
A
Why don't you hang it up,
why won't you stop?
How about some facts and figures?
How old are you?
about a little background?
Isn't it you call black people
niggers?
How come you're always
How come you don't try
to write a novel?
How come you don't try
to write a play?
B
A
Em
Why the hell won't you just go away?
Are you crazy?
How old are you?
Are you really a drunk?
Are you bitter, have you grown lazy,
How come you didn't
get big like Bob Dylan?
How come you didn't
get big like Springsteen?
or were you unwilling?
B
A
Tell us the truth about it,
How old are you?
How old?
you were so much better
When you were younger
you were really hot
and you're colder than ever
B
A
Why don't you hang it up,
Who do you live with?
How old are you?
Who was your wife?
Is it true that you have children?
I guess that means that
Em
E
you got a sex life
I seem to run out of questions
There's only a few and they're
always the same
and tickets and records
How old are you?
Come on, baby!
Whoa!
How did you like the song?
