It's cold today and I feel I should turn the other way but I can't give in to the things that aren't under my control and I know that it's easier to let go of this death grip hold and I should come to terms
I'm gettin old so old I'm gettin old
My back is sore and I feel I'm becoming such a bore my first borns heading off to school and I feel like I just got out Has it really been that long or just a dream, a song, a shout and you know I've been told
I'm gettin old so old I'm gettin old
But I'm just gettin started the chains they have departed and I can be just who I've come to be
I'm not so old not old I'm not so old
It's all a package deal there ain't no free lunch meal the aches I can control I'm finally on a roll and I think we're who we decide to be
I'm not so old I've got to fight the fight I'm not so old can't give in to my plight I'm not so old
And so I'm movin on to step into the future or be gone Take one day at a time and face it head on and don't give an inch Practicing denial's hard unless you get into a pinch and I claim that it's true
I'm not so old am I lyin to myself I'm not so old not ready for the shelf I'm not so old can't seem to take the hint I'm not so old have trouble with fine print I'm not so old my hair is turning grey I'm not so old at times I stop and pray I'm not so old
But the guys, they don't call me to play ball anymore
