JOHN MELLENCAMP - Don't Need This Body lyrics

rate me

This getting older<br />

Ain't for cowards<br />

This getting older<br />

Is a lot to go through<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body<br />

Much longer<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body<br />

Much more<br />

<br />

Well I can't see much<br />

Like I used to<br />

And I can't run like the wind<br />

I don't sleep more<br />

Than just a few hours<br />

I can't remember where I've been<br />

<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body much longer<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body much more<br />

I put in a ten million hours<br />

Washed up and worn out for sure<br />

<br />

Well all my friends are<br />

Sick or dying<br />

And I'm here all by myself<br />

All I got left<br />

Is a head full of memories<br />

And a thought of my upcoming death<br />

<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body much longer<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body much more<br />

I put in a ten million hours<br />

Washed up and worn out for sure<br />

<br />

Well I know one thing<br />

I'll die easy<br />

And I know my life<br />

Is not in vain<br />

Because I loved<br />

And I fought with many<br />

And the people they loved me just the same<br />

<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body much longer<br />

Ain't a gonna need this body much more<br />

I put in a ten million hours<br />

Washed up and worn out<br />

Washed up and worn out for sure<br />

This getting older<br />

Well it ain't for cowards<br />

This getting older<br />

Is a lot to go through</
