[Verse 1] I rolled outta bed like I fell off a truck, Back’s locked up tight and my knees both stuck. Didn’t run no marathon, didn’t wrestle no steer, Just slept a little funny, now I'll feel it all year. [Pre-Chorus] Used to stay out ‘til sunrise, work all day long, Now just mowin' the grass knocks me out strong. [Chorus] Man, it sucks gettin’ old, When your body starts quittin’ but your heart’s still bold. Every snap, crack, pop is another episode, And the younger me laughs at the mileage I’ve showed. But hey I'm not quite ready to fold-- Even if it sucks, gettin’ old. [Verse 2] Got a shelf full of vitamins, aches on demand, Ice packs in the freezer are part of the plan. My pants fit different and the scale don’t lie, And my old t-shirts shrink every year, don’t know why. [Pre-Chorus] Tell the kids “I’m resting,” but really I’m out, Used to run with the wind--now I’m worn clean out. [Chorus] Yeah it sucks gettin’ old, When your back gives up long before your soul. You grunt more standin’ than you ever did before, And you swear this house added one more floor. But hey I'm not quite ready to fold-- Even if it sucks, gettin’ old. [Bridge] But I earned every wrinkle, every scar, every line, Got a little more grace with the passin’ of time. A little more heart in everything I do, And a whole lotta love from the folks I hold true. [Final Chorus] Yeah it sucks gettin’ old, But the memories shine brighter than the stories told. We’re still here, still standin’, still ridin’ this road, And we’ll keep on goin’ till the final load. Yeah, I'm not quite ready to fold-- Even if it sucks- gettin’ old.
