Gettin' Old Ain't for Sissies (Duet)

[Verse] You know what they say gettin' old ain't for sissies Now I know my youth is a precious thing 'cause the smell of the roses Ain't quite as sweet as they once were [female vocal] [Chorus] My mind keeps playin' tricks on me It's more forgetful than it was in my twenties My stomach ain't as flat as it used to be I tried to do some sit ups but my back is killing me My joints don't work like they used to My knees crack And my elbows pop My hair ain't as thick as it used to be I might be bald before I'm gone My eyes don't see as far as they used to But I can still see the beauty in you And now I know my youth is a precious thing 'cause the smell of the roses Ain't quite as sweet as they once were 'cause you know what they say gettin' old ain't for sissies [male vocal] [Verse] The things I've seen And the places I've been But the day my momma died I cried And then I cried some more I couldn't stand to see her Lowered into the ground And the day my first cat died I cried And then I cried some more 'cause you know what they say gettin' old ain't for sissies [Guitar Solo] [Chorus male & female vocal] My mind keeps playin' tricks on me It's more forgetful than it was in my twenties My stomach ain't as flat as it used to be I tried to do some sit ups but my back is killing me My joints don't work like they used to My knees crack And my elbows pop My hair ain't as thick as it used to be I might be bald before I'm gone My eyes don't see as far as they used to But I can still see the beauty in you And now I know my youth is a precious thing 'cause the smell of the roses Ain't quite as sweet as they once were 'cause you know what they say gettin' old ain't for sissies [Outro] [Extended Guitar Solo]
