Lyrics

GROWING OLD RELUCTANTLY

Verse 1
My Feet are aching
And my back ‘aint what it was
My vari-focal world
‘Aint clear like it once was
And I’ve got tennis elbows
I’m feeling old

Verse2
Thread veins upon my face
My hair is turning grey
I’m longer in the tooth
And sleeping more each day
My knuckles keep on burning
Yeah I’m getting old

Chorus
Well I got fewer years before me than behind me
And someday soon I know that I’ll be history
As my train is getting nearer to the station
And my destiny is creeping up on me
I’m growing Oh – old reluctantly
I’m growing Oh – old reluctantly

Instrumental

Verse 3
I want to run and play
And be the way I was
I’d like to climb a tree
But I know I can’t because
My right knee needs replacing
I’m growing old

Chorus
Well I got fewer years before me than behind me
And someday soon I know that I’ll be history
As my train is getting nearer to the station
And my destiny is creeping up on me
I’m growing Oh – old reluctantly
I’m growing Oh – old reluctantly

Outro
I’m growing old reluctantly
I’m growing old reluctantly
I’m growing old reluctantly
