Verse 1 I rolled outta bed just like I always do, Reached for my boots, heard a snap or two. Thought it was the floor, but it turned out to be me, Now I'm makin' noises just to stand from my seat. Yesterday I threw my back out sneezin' in the hall, I wasn't even lifting anything at all. My knees predict the weather better than the news, Getting older's got a sense of humor I can't refuse. Chorus I pull something reaching for the coffee on the shelf, Wake up sore from sleeping by myself. Every birthday adds another little quirk... I've got aches and pains in places, I didn't know could hurt. Verse 2 The mirror says "You're wiser," my body says "No way." Every little project turns into a two-day. I grunt when I sit down, I sigh when I get up, I make old-man sounds every time I pick a cup. The doctor smiles and says, "Well, that's just getting old." I told him, "Doc, that wasn't what I wanted to be told!" But every laugh with family, every sunset that I see, Makes every little creaky joint worth the price to me. Bridge Yeah, the hair turns gray, the years roll by, The miles leave their mark, that's no surprise. If these old bones could tell their tale, They'd say every scar means I lived life well. Final Chorus I've got aches and pains in places, I didn't know could hurt. Every wrinkle tells a story, Every laugh's been well deserved. I'd trade a little comfort for the life I've had, The good times far outweigh the bad. So if tomorrow brings another little twinge, it won't be the worst... 'Cause I'm still here, still smiling, Even if everything hurts. Spoken Outro Now where'd I leave my glasses? ...Never mind... they're on my shirt.
