Now that I'm my grampa
Now that I'm my dad
Things have gotten better
Things are not so sad

Now that I ain't that fella
Who's looking for his fun
We seem to be getting along better
Better with everyone

Now that I'm my children
And my children's children's kids
I don't feel so awful
About some stupid things I did

Now that I'm Layla
Now that I'm Ella Mae
I don't worry about tomorrow
I don't cling to yesterday

Look down 7 generations
See the rising of the young
Life is way less lonely
When you're a part of everyone

Now that I'm my grampa
My mom and my old dad too
I can say I done the best I could
And I know you kids will too
