Lyrics

Gettin' Old Is Gettin' Old

I'm still young I tell myself
I'm not ready to be put up on the shelf
Still there's one thing on my bucket list
I just wish I could remember what it is

This gettin' old is gettin' old
My aches and pains
Have complaints of their own
I'm either burning up or freezing cold
This gettin' old is gettin' old

So don't tell me I've had my fun
That I've had my day in the sun
I can prove that there's no truth to that
But right now it's time for my nap

This gettin' old is gettin' old
My aches and pains
Have complaints of their own
I'm either burning up or freezing cold
This gettin' old is gettin' old

Break

And I could share all the wisdom of a man self-made
The skills I have learned the tricks of the trade
All the things to avoid at the school of hard knocks
But right now for the moment I've forgot

This gettin' old is gettin' old
My aches and pains
Have complaints of their own
I'm either burning up or freezing cold
This gettin' old is gettin' old
This gettin' old is gettin' old
