The Man Upstairs

The Man Upstairs Lyrics by Frank Foster

* Strum & Pause Intro Verse 1 I’m Farther Away From 30... Than I Am From Fifty I Never Thought I’d See... But I Think I’m Fine With That And I’m Farther Away From Chasin’ ‘Round... Every Dream I Tried To Run Down And Getting Quite Alright... With Just Right Where I’m At Pre-Chorus 1 Yeah, That Ole’ Whippoorwill Been Whistlin’... The Lord’s Been Talkin’ And I’ve Been Listenin’ And There’s Some Youngin’s That I’ve Been Missin’... And There’s Some Holes That I Ain’t Been Fishin’ Chorus 1 And You Realize You Ain’t The Man You Ever Was... When Getting’ On Up In Age... Does What Is Does There’s Some Cracks In The Rear View Mirror... But Now I See Things A Little Clearer I Better Make A Little Time... Before I Turn To Dust... I’ve Gotten Farther From The Bottom Than I’ve Been In Quite A Few Years And Closer To The Man Upstairs Verse 2 I’m Farther Away From Stumblin’... Than I Am From Sober It’s Been An Uphill Climb... Just Like I Knew It Would And I’m Farther Away From Losin’... Everything That Never Made Me Happy Now I Ain’t Been Perfect... But Lately I’m Doing Pretty Good Pre-Chorus 2 Yeah, That Ole’ Whippoorwill Been Whistlin’... The Good Lord’s Been Talkin’ And I’ve Been Listenin’ There’s A Woman That I’ve Been Missin’... And There’s Some Holes That I Ain’t Been Fishin’ Chorus 2 And You Realize You Ain’t The Man You Ever Was... When Getting’ On Up In Age... Does What Is Does There’s Some Cracks In The Rear View Mirror... But Now I See Things A Little Clearer I Better Make A Little Time... Before I Turn To Dust... I’ve Gotten Farther From The Bottom Than I’ve Been In Quite A Few Years And Closer To The Man Upstairs Bridge Life And Love It Gets Better To Ya... When You Trade In Them Hell Years... For Hallelujahs Chorus 3 And You Realize You Ain’t The Man You Ever Was... When Getting’ On Up In Age... Does What Is Does There’s Some Cracks In The Rear View Mirror... But Now I See Things A Little Clearer I Better Make A Little Time... Before I Turn... To Dust I’ve Gotten Farther From The Bottom Than I’ve Been In Quite A Few Years And Closer To The Man Upstairs... Ahh The Man Upstairs
