Growing Older But Not Up Lyrics

Cover art for Growing Older But Not Up lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

"Hum Drum" refers to the sound a boat's propeller makes - what a manatee would hear as the boat approaches. Boat strikes are the leading cause of manatee injury and death. Jimmy helped found the "Save the Manatee" movement.

There are no missing words.

Jimmy wrote this song after the first time he broke his leg - stealing 2nd base in a charity softball tournament. Thus the reference to "Pete Rose".

There used to be words missing. I see somebody edited the original.
