"Age" is a song written and recorded by Jim Croce and his wife Ingrid.
Jim Croce would record the song again, this time without Ingrid, for his final album I Got a Name in 1973.
[1] Jerry Reed's cover of the song was released as a single in 1980 on his tribute album to Croce, and it peaked at 36 on the Billboard country chart.
Age is about a change in the narrator’s disposition after an experience over time where he went from having a lot of success to a little because of bad choices.
The speaker regrets losing his ideals, which has caused him to be right back where he started from before his success.
