Don't Need This Body Lyrics

This getting older, ain't for cowards
This getting older, there's 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

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

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, I know one thing I'd 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

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
Washed up and worn out for sure

This getting older, well it ain't for cowards
This getting older, there's a lot to go through
