My cousin Rod's comment on getting old. I thought it was the basis for a good song.
lyrics
Getting Old Ain't For Pussies
Chorus
Getting old ain't for pussies
Life can be so hard
The longer you last
The older you are
There's no way to win
But you can still be a star
Drink life to the fullest
And belly up to the bar
Some just give up living
Nothing left round the bend
They act sad and helpless
As though life's through with them
They bitch and they moan
To all kith and kin
Youth's wasted on the young
Start living again
Take life as it comes
What choice have you got
Reach out your hand
And grab you a spot
Greet every day
Get your ass out of bed
Once more to the breach
You can sleep when you're dead
Being happy and free
Is just state of mind
Open your heart
Seek and ye shall find
Life should be savored
And lived till the end
Grab life by the bullocks
Sing Carpe Diem
Chorus
Getting old ain't for pussies
Life can be so hard
The longer you last
The older you are
But you're still in the game
Always playing to win
Grab life by the bullocks
Sing Carpe Diem
Grab life by the bullocks
Sing Carpe Diem
