Sucks Gettin' Old (v6 update)
[Verse 1] I rolled outta bed like I fell off a truck, Backβs locked up tight and my knees both stuck. Didnβt run no marathon, didnβt wrestle no steer, Just slept a little funny, now I'll feel it all year. [Pre-Chorus] Used to stay out βtil sunrise, work all day long, Now just mowin' the grass knocks me out strong. [Chorus] Man, it sucks gettinβ old, When your body starts quittinβ but your heartβs still bold. Every snap, crack, pop is another episode, And the younger me laughs at the mileage Iβve showed. But hey I'm not quite ready to fold-- Even if it sucks, gettinβ 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 donβt lie, And my old t-shirts shrink every year, donβt know why. [Pre-Chorus] Tell the kids βIβm resting,β but really Iβm out, Used to run with the wind--now Iβm worn clean out. [Chorus] Yeah it sucks gettinβ old, When your back gives up long before your soul. You grunt more standinβ 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, gettinβ old. [Bridge] But I earned every wrinkle, every scar, every line, Got a little more grace with the passinβ 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 gettinβ old, But the memories shine brighter than the stories told. Weβre still here, still standinβ, still ridinβ this road, And weβll keep on goinβ till the final load. Yeah, I'm not quite ready to fold-- Even if it sucks- gettinβ old.
