Verse 1

My knees talk louder than the radio

When the weather turns mean and cold

Got a pill for the pressure, a chart on the wall

Doctor says, “Son, you’re gettin’ old.”

But I still reach for her hand in the dark

Still wake up ready to try

This body’s been keepin’ some rough accounts

But the ledger in my heart won’t lie

Chorus

I’m still 20 in my mind

Still believe love’s worth the fight

Still see the road like it’s open wide

Still think wrong can be made right

Yeah the mirror says I’ve paid my dues

And the years have been unkind

But the boy who swore he’d give it all

He’s still 20 in my mind

Verse 2

I don’t run like I used to run

Can’t lift what I lifted before

But I’ll show up when the night gets long

And someone’s knockin’ at my door

I’ve buried friends and I’ve buried dreams

Learned which ones don’t stay dead

You lose some speed, you lose some shine

But not the fire inside your chest

Chorus

I’m still 20 in my mind

Still the lover, still the fool

Still the one who steps between

When someone’s playin’ cruel

Got a little pain in every step

Got a little gray I can’t rewind

But the spark that said “Stand up straight”

He’s still 20 in my mind

Bridge

They can measure my heart rate

They can count the lines on my face

But they can’t touch that part of me

That still believes in grace

I’ve been knocked down, I’ve been worn thin

Still here, still tryin’ to be kind

This world may age these bones of mine

But it can’t age the flame inside

Final Chorus

I’m still 20 in my mind

Still the helper, still the hand

Still the one who’d give his coat away

If it helps another stand

Yeah I’m slower, yeah I’m sore, yeah

Every mile’s been hard to find

But I’ll ride this thing ‘til the last light fades

Still 20 in my mind

Outro

When they lay me down beneath the sky

Don’t you worry what you’ll find

Just a tired man with a young man’s heart

Still 20 in my mind
