Fountain of Youth

I'm not tryin' to be young, only young for my age.
Still far from cashin' in all the dues that I've paid.
But down in St. Augustine when I was only ten,
I drank from a fountain…now I'm goin' back again.

(Chorus)
When Ponce de Leon stepped ashore he was seekin' many things.
Mostly gold and youth that legend said hid among these springs.
Yeah, the truth is out there somewhere
And though his search is done,
I have found the Fountain of Youth
And I believe there's more than one.

(instrumental)

So if you think you've had your day, think you can't feel alive again.
Think you'd like to find the Fountain, but don't know how you would begin.
You can't find it on a map, you can't find it in a book,
But I believe that sure as certain you already know where to look.
