(Is This What It’s Like) Getting Old

[Verse 1]
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

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]
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 2]
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

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]
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?

[Chorus]
Is this what it's like, is this what it's like
Is this what it’s like getting old?
It takes longer, you'll see, now I sit down to pee
Is this what it's like getting old?
