(Is This What It’s Like) Getting Old

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris Freeman] My phone just don't ring like it used to Some of my best friends are dead And the most exciting thing in my evening Is a hot cup of tea before bed [Verse 2: Chris Freeman] I've got more aches and pains than I used to And now I'll avoid a big crowd I hate the suggestion, but there is a question I find myself asking out loud [Chorus: Chris Freeman] Is this what it's like? Is this what it's like? Is this what it's like getting old? I cherish each day and each roll in the hay Is this what it's like getting old? [Verse 3: Chris Freeman] Please do not think I'm complaining I'm merely presenting the facts And while I am at it, I might as well add It takes three drinks a day to relax [Verse 4: Chris Freeman] I never expected to be here Or thought I would end up like this So allow me to ponder this question, I wonder What's happened to years that I've missed? [Chorus: Chris Freeman] Is this what it's like? Is this what it's like? Is this what it's like getting old? I don't want no sympathy, but my mind ain't what it used to be Is this what it's like getting old? You can have it [Instrumental] [Chorus: Chris Freeman] Well, is this what it's like? Is this what it's like? Is this what it's like getting old? Oh, it takes longer, you'll see, now I sit down to pee Is this what it's like getting old?
