  • This getting older
    Ain't for cowards
    This getting older
    Is a lot to go through
    Ain't a gonna need this body
    Much longer
    Ain't a gonna need this body
    Much more

    Well I can't see much
    Like I used to
    And I can't run like the wind
    I don't sleep more
    Than just a few hours
    I can't remember where I've been

    [Chorus]
    Ain't a gonna need this body much longer
    Ain't a gonna need this body much more
    I put in a ten million hours
    Washed up and worn out for sure

    Well all my friends are
    Sick or dying
    And I'm here all by myself
    All I got left
    Is a head full of memories
    And a thought of my upcoming death

    [Chorus]

    Well I know one thing
    I'll die easy
    And I know my life
    Is not in vain
    Because I loved
    And I fought with many
    And the people they loved me just the same

    [Chorus]

    This getting older
    Well it ain't for cowards
    This getting older
    Is a lot to go through Writer/s: JOHN MELLENCAMP
