Woke up this mornin’ with a pop in my spine,
Back said “good luck,” and my knees said “not this time.”
Used to bounce back, now I just bounce slow,
Can’t find my glasses, hell, where’d they go?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to laugh at my old man’s walk,
Now I get it—every snap, every knock.
⸻
[Chorus]
Damn, this body’s gettin’ old,
Got stories written in every fold.
I stretch, I groan, but I still roll,
Still got a fire burnin’ in my soul.
Yeah, damn… this body’s gettin’ old.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Can’t eat like I used to—heartburn’s a friend,
Beer hits harder than it did back then.
My playlist’s now called “Throwback Gold,”
But I still dance bad and I still get bold.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a kid inside me screamin’ loud,
Sayin’, “don’t slow down, just make yourself proud.”
⸻
[Chorus]
Damn, this body’s gettin’ old,
Every joint’s got a tale that’s told.
I stretch, I groan, but I still roll,
Still out here rockin’, still got soul.
Yeah, damn… this body’s gettin’ old.
⸻
[Bridge]
Got scars from love, and scars from pain,
Ain’t afraid to dance out in the rain.
Every wrinkle’s just a chapter wrote,
On this wild ride that still gives me hope.
⸻
[Breakdown – Spoken / half-sung]
Yeah, I might grunt when I stand,
But I’ll still lend a hand.
Might need Advil before I jam,
But I still am who I am!
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Damn, this body’s gettin’ old,
But the heart inside still feels gold.
I laugh, I stretch, I rock and roll,
Still chasin’ dreams that never get old.
Yeah, damn… this body’s gettin’ old.
⸻
[Outro]
So here’s to the pain, the pride, the fold,
’Cause damn… this body’s gettin’ old.
But the soul—yeah, the soul—ain’t ever gettin’ old.
