Body and soul both grow old
Only time will tell
How smooth the closing miles will roll
To death bell’s final knell
Body and mind slowly unwind
The world continues to spin
Keep the laces tight on your boots
And push for a final win
Aching muscles common place
Throbbing in the knees
Got an ankle ain’t quite right
Long walks not a breeze
Not as sharp as I used to be
My Jeopardy buzzer slowed
But comfortable in my wisdom still
Hoping it will hold
At my age it’s all gravy now
I’ve lived and loved and thrilled
Been all around this big bad world
And now I’m livin’ chill
I can’t complain, but still I do
Keep reaching for the ring
I’ve had my share of happiness
But still I want to sing
The house is almost paid off
Bank account not too thin
Got money for a few more years
If those pension checks come in
How high should I now set the bar
Can’t jump the way I used to
Still would like to do some things
But need to bite what I can chew
So look out world, I’m here to twirl
And dance and twist and rock
But once it’s time to hang it up
I’ve got a loaded Glock
