Once this one has marinated for a while, we're gonna have to do a young/younger song thread. I guess I don't have many old songs in my repertoire, but I can think of several of the opposite.

A couple just popped into my head. Nothing like young people singing about being old.

Band and song, both are old.

[Aluminny69]

Possibly the most heart wrenching song ever, considering how tragically his life was cut short.

This should have been on the great intro thread which has now been locked.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I've always loved this song.

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
There were four generations of love on her face.
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes,

The one and only Tom Waits - Old '55

"Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with lady luck"...

Cover of Tom Waits' "Take It With Me". A song of love and remembrance.

In a land there's a town, and in that town there's a house
And in that house there's a woman
And in that woman there's a heart I love
I'm gonna take it with me when I go

 

[Scud49]

Les Dudek's great tune "Old Judge Jones":

"Met my old lover in the grocery store...."

I love this take on the abundance of often contradictory emotions in seeing an old flame.

(Harry Chapin's taxi is another good one, but it doesn't fit the parameters of this thread as well.)
