Well (and my apologies if I'm wrong) it sounds a little like 'It Was a Very Good Year' by Frank Sinatra. Here are the lyrics to that one -

its the right idea but not the right song... there was definate mentions of a porch and it was a folk/countryish song which (what i think) was the singer just playing a guitar. I heard it after midnight on XFM about 3 years ago!! i dont know if it was new then or old...

Then I'm struggling ! Is there one particular line of the song that you can definitely remember?


For example I just did a Google search of 'when I was 89 lyrics' and nothing came back. If that line had been part of a song then I think that I would have picked it up. Might it have been a different age?

It could be "Back When I Was 4" by Jeffrey Lewis, an antifolk singer.
