Older

--By Johnny Paycash

Did you ever phone a number and forget who you had dialed?

Do you put off projects for another day?

Have you said “I remember when your mother was a child?"

It’s funny how the years just slip away

Do chili dogs bite back at you; have you cut out sauerkraut?

Is your son's hair looking sort of gray?

Ever wake up with a hangover when you weren’t even out?

My friends, we're getting older every day

You say you know a lot of jokes, but can’t remember one?

And all your taxes are being thrown away?

Putting money in the slot machines is your idea of having fun?

But you’ll start working out again someday

Is your medicine chest becoming the center of your house?

While you stayed home did your back go out today?

Do you pay more attention to your doctor than your spouse?

Oh, yes, we're getting older every day.

                        * * * * *

Did you ever stay in bed because your legs were still asleep?

Are you baffled by the prices people pay?

Do you lose your shovel every time the snow gets deep?

It’s funny how the years just slip away

Do you start to watch TV at three and wake up after five?

Don’t you hate those new songs that they play?

Do you read the obits every day to make sure you’re alive?

My friends, we're getting older every day
