Little Older - Smolik, Kev Fox

It’s six o' clock, the heat is on

The birds, they’re singing evening songs

I put my coat across your shoulders

You would make your mother cry

If she saw the look that’s in your eye

She might tell you that she told you not

Don’t hang around with older souls

Who drink, and smoke, and rock and roll, and

You might die a little older'

For everything is a perfect time

But if you never live then still you die

But you won’t die a little older

You have to run to win the race

But if you play your only ace

Don’t come crying on my shoulder

You’ll never change your brother’s mind

Because the more you have, the more you are

But you won’t die a little older

But we can talk about the good old days

Of penny sweets and lemonade

With a touch of something stronger

Then we’ll stumble through the streets, then home

Through your tired eyes you’ll smile and

Put your head upon my shoulder
