It Sucks to Get Old

In my twenties I was wild and free

Chasin' girls and dreams like a big ol' spree

Drank and Party all night No sleep

Could eat six tacos at 2 AM

Wake up fresh do it all again

Didn't stretch didn't rest didn't care

Hangover? Pfft—never been there

It sucks to get old I swear it ain't fair

My knees pop louder than a county fair

It sucks to get old man it's a fight

I wake up sore but I slept all night

Thirties came along like a freight train roll

Job mortgage bills life's takin' a toll

Used to stay up wild and free

Now if I don't get sleep don't talk to me

Used to drink coffee now I drink tea

Cause caffeine past noon is the death of me

It sucks to get old I swear it ain't fair

My knees pop louder than a county fair

It sucks to get old man it's a fight

I wake up sore but I slept all night

Hit forty now I'm losin' my mind

Walk in a room what'd I come to find?

Tried to tie my boots but my belly's in the way

Breathin' a lil' harder with each passin' day

Looked in the mirror "who's that guy?"

Turns out it's me—man time did fly

It sucks to get old I swear it ain't fair

My knees pop louder than a county fair

It sucks to get old man it's a fight

I wake up sore but I slept all night

Fifty came quick and now I'm a wreck

Fell asleep wrong now I can't move my neck

Readin' the menu? Forgot my specs

Still can't see so I just guess

"Why's my shoulder hurt?" I don't even know

Hurt it sleepin'—that's how it goes

But now my hair's gone grey and my waistline grew

Well it sucks to get old but what ya gonna do?

It sucks to get old no way around

Wake up sore without leavin' town

Bones be crackin' joints be stiff

I just exist and I need a lift

Sixty hit now I'm just confused

Lost my glasses—where? On my head dude

Tried to dance pulled both my thighs

Now I just bob while sittin' down nice

Doctor says "Move more stay fit!

I sneezed too hard—now I gotta sit

Young folks laugh think they got it right

Till they wake up sore from sleepin' one night

Now I'm an old man and here I lay

In a bathtub full of ice today

Doc said "Put ice where it hurts the most"

So I just jumped in now I'm cold as a ghost
