Gettin' Old Sucks

© 2024 Gary Healy. All Rights Reserved. Gettin' Old Sucks - Well, gettin' old sucks but what's the alternative? I'm pushin' it now That's an affirmative I ain't hidin' nothin' it's as plain as day If my body is a temple I should probably kneel and pray I remember when and it Doesn't seem so long ago I could run five miles Shovel me a yard of snow Somewhere along the way I picked me up some injuries I take more drugs now Than I did in the seventies Got aches and pains a-plenty I struggle out of bed I can't remember half the things Got stored inside my head But I got a twinkle in my eyes And a smile upon my lips and The ghost of Chubby Checker still lingers on my hips, I tell ya [Chorus] Gettin' old sucks but What's the alternative I'm pushin' it now That's an affirmative Too late to turn the clock back The second hand's all bust Just drop me at the thrift store Before I start to rust. [guitar solo] [Verse 2] Don't know where all the years have gone Inside I feel the same I may have gained a pound or two You know that there's no shame Not sayin' that I'm old But when I was young and trim Mother Nature was a virgin Father time was called Young Tim [Chorus] Gettin' old sucks What's the alternative I'm pushin' it now That's an affirmative Don't worry 'bout me none The Lord and I are squared away I'll raise a cold one to your health and Wish us both another day [trio of female singers] Don't mind him, Lord He's not done yet He just likes grumblin' Don't mind him, Lord He's not done yet He just likes moanin' [solo male singer] Don't mind me, Lord I'm not done yet I just like whinin' [Outro] But ask again ten years from now Authorship & Production Notice: The lyrics, vocal melodies, and original structural arrangements in this track are human-authored works composed entirely by Gary Healy.
