"American Pie" by Don McLean
"Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be"
Great video that fits the lyrics (IMO)

Same here. I've always been a fan, and thought this song probably had a true story in the background. Thanks for posting it!

Night Moves
Bob Seger
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

"Cherry Bomb" by John (Cougar) Mellancamp
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say do you remember when
And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything
We were young and we were improvin"

Paradise By The Dashboard Light: Meatloaf (to complete this teenage sexual moment in a car, he promises to love her till the end of time....sometime later [I interpret it as years later when they've grown some] he's praying for the end of time so he can end his time with her).

Heart of Gold
Neil Young
I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I found my heart of gold in my granddaughter, she is a NICU nurse. Have you found your heart of gold?

"Dance Me To the End of Love"
By Leonard Cohen
(To me this is such a beautiful video and song about growing old. Watch this and tell me what you think. I have friends who played this for their wedding dance.)

No Surrender
Bruce Springsteen
Well, we busted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record, baby
Than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer's sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
And follow your dreams down
Well, now young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
Now I'm ready to grow young again

The Boxer - S&G
Paul Simon said the song was autobiographical in nature. There was a fourth verse written but not performed on the single release, although they did sing it in live shows, at times.
“Now the years are rolling by me / They are rocking evenly / I am older than I once was / And younger than I’ll be / But that’s not unusual / No, it isn’t strange / After changes upon changes / We are more or less the same / After changes we are / More or less the same.”

Birds Of A Feather
Don't It Make You Want To Go Home - All by Joe South
All have themes of reminiscing childhood. Joe South, apparently my artist of the day! I love listening to his music.

Wasted On The Way - CS&N (awesome lyrics by Graham Nash)
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way
It used to be
I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started
Long before I did
And there's so much time to make up
Everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
Oh when you were young
Did you question all the answers
Did you envy all the dancers
Who had all the nerve
Look round you know
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved
And there's so much time to make up
Everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
And there's so much love to make up
Everywhere you turn
Love we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
Let the water come and carry us away
