lyrics

Gettinʼ Old Blues

Well now I done got old, and I must now face the facts
I said now I done got old, and I must now face the facts
I ainʼt going nowhere, and I sure ainʼt never coming back

Well now Iʼm all alone, and I feel time is running out
Yes now Iʼm all alone, and I feel time is running out
Iʼve been hanging around here too long, and I still donʼt know what itʼs all about

But I must keep on keeping one, that is until my dying day
I said I must keep on keeping on, that is until my dying day
Because one day Iʼm gonna be gone, and I wonʼt have no more to say

Well now I woke up this morning feeling mighty bad
Iʼve been thinking about all he good times, yes that I once have had
You know the days turn to months and the months turn into years
But when my time comes, I wonʼt have no more to fear

Because I done got old, how much longer can this last
Yes it seems like all I do...is just sitinʼ around dreaming of the past.
