Lyrics
This getting older ain't for cowards
This getting older's a lot to go through
Ain't a-gonna need this body much longer
Ain't a-gonna need this body much more
Well, I can't see much like I used to
And I can't run like the wind
I don't sleep more than just a few hours
I can't remember where I've been
Ain't a-gonna need this body much longer
Ain't a-gonna need this body much more
I put in a ten million hours
Washed up and worn out for sure
Well, all my friends are sick or dying
And I'm here all by myself
All I got left is a head full of memories
And a thought of my upcoming death
Ain't a-gonna need this body much longer
Ain't a-gonna need this body much more
I put in a ten million hours
Washed up and worn out for sure
Well, I know one thing, I'll die easy
And I know my life was not in vain
Because I loved and I fought with many
And the people, they loved me just the same
Ain't a-gonna need this body much longer
Ain't a-gonna need this body much more
I put in a ten million hours
Washed up and worn out
Washed up and worn out for sure
This getting older, well, it ain't for cowards
This getting older's a lot to go through
