GETTING OLDER AIN'T FOR SISSIES

1. If getting old is getting old
And you?re friends with the drug store clerk.
It takes twice as long - to look half as good.
And what doesn?t hurt won?t work
If you?re staying home ?cause your back went out
And your mail?s from Double A R P
Then take a few minutes to stand up straight
And remember what my daddy told me

CHORUS
Getting older ain?t for sissies
Life gets harder every day
The golden years get tarnished
By everything you have to pay
Young people think it?s easy
Doing nothing all the time
It?s hard work staying busy
When you?re living past your prime

2.If your idea of going out
Is a hammock in the back yard
If your happy hour is when you take a nap
And you hate getting birthday cards
If ?getting lucky? means you found your car
In the Wal-mart parking lot
Then join with me?Make yourself heard
C?mon and give it all you?ve got

CHORUS
Getting older ain?t for sissies
Life gets harder every day
The golden years get tarnished
With all the bills you have to pay
Young people think it?s easy
Doing nothing all the time
It?s hard work looking busy
When you?re living past your prime

BRIDGE
My friends get together for coffee
Every morning about half past nine
We talk about the all things we?ve done
And everyone knows we?re lyin?
Someday you?re going to be here too
Says this old dog to you pups
Remember not to let it get you down
It?s too hard to get back up

CHORUS
Getting older ain?t for sissies
Life gets harder every day
The golden years get tarnished
By everything you have to pay
Young people think it?s easy
Doing nothing all the time
It?s hard work staying busy
When you?re living past your prime

Getting older ain?t for sissies
Life gets harder every day
The golden years get tarnished
With all the bills you have to pay
Young people think it?s easy
Doing nothing all the time
It?s hard work looking busy
When you?re living past your prime

REPEAT
