This Getting Old Thing
By Steve Simmons, 11/29/2004
V1
Wake up in the morning and rigimortis sets in
Hot showers have become my best friend
Peering through eyes that are blood red
I think I been run over by a flatbed
Thank god for that coffee picker Juan Valdez
Chorus
Well I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
All the ache’s and pains that age is sure to bring
Throw my back out when I dance
No butt left to hold up my pants
I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
V2
Paying the price for the injuries in my youth
Suffering with every cold front that comes through
Sore joints make it tough to walk
No teeth makes it hard to talk
Wish I could roll back the hands on my life clock
Chorus
Well I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
All the ache’s and pains that age is sure to bring
My chest done fell to my waist
Getting wrinkles all over my face
I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
V3
The clerk at the drug store meets me with a grin
He’s got the pill list my ol saw bones has called in
The list was quite extensive
I know it’s gonna be expensive
Cause I think I see dollar signs in his eyes
Chorus
Well I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
All the ache’s and pains that age is sure to bring
Called livin in your golden years
But most are spent sheddin tears
I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
B1
I’m No stranger to Arthur Itis
And know his sister Bertha Sitetis
I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
B2
Can’t stop the hands on the clock
They keep on movin tic tock
I don’t think that I like this getting old thing
