Double Lifetime Lyrics - Older Than My Old Man Now - Loudon Wainwright Iii

I want a double lifetime 

I want to start over 

Ane lifetimes not enough I need another 

Sixty-four years on a practice run 

Practice makes perfect Im about half done 

I want a double lifetime 

I want a double lifetime 

I dont want to snuff it 

Threescore and ten just aint enough 

Feels like finally got it all figured out 

Almost free from the shame and the doubt 

I want a double lifetime 

A lot more time 

Thats what I need 

I can make my move I can do the deed 

I know Im pretty but what do I care 

For the afterlife I dont want to go there 

I want a double lifetime 

Man I deserve it 

I want it so bad I even got the nerve 

Its gonna take to get down on my bended knees 

And make a prayer saying Pretty please 

Give me a double lifetime 

[Lets play it Jack 

Make mine a double] 

I want a double lifetime 

I wasted my first one 

The first time around thats always the worst one 

You dont know what youre doing and you just cant wait 

You go ahead and do it and then its too late 

You need a double lifetime 

I led a double life in public and private 

I want to lead it again, Im not going to deny it 

Im just like you, its true you know 

Ask yourself are you ready to go? 

You want a double lifetime 

A little more time but you know I never 

Want to keep living forever and ever 

I know it sounds funny if the truth be told 

But a hundred and twenty dont seem that old 

I want a double lifetime 

Not going to get it 

But if a miracle happens you know Im gonna let it 

If I eat enough yogurt maybe I might 

And the second time around Im gonna get it right 

Give me a double lifetime
