Don't Need This Body - John Mellencamp

This getting older

Ain’t for cowards

This getting older

Is a lot to go through

Ain’t a gonna need this body

Much longer

Ain’t a gonna need this body

Much more

Well I can’t see much

Like I used to

And I can’t run like the wind

I don’t sleep more

Than just a few hours

I can’t remember where I’ve been

Ain’t a gonna need this body much longer

Ain’t a gonna need this body much more

I put in a ten million hours

Washed up and worn out for sure

Well all my friends are

Sick or dying

And I’m here all by myself

All I got left

Is a head full of memories

And a thought of my upcoming death

Ain’t a gonna need this body much longer

Ain’t a gonna need this body much more

I put in a ten million hours

Washed up and worn out for sure

Well I know one thing

I’ll die easy

And I know my life

Is not in vain

Because I loved

And I fought with many

And the people they loved me just the same

Ain’t a gonna need this body much longer

Ain’t a gonna need this body much more

I put in a ten million hours

Washed up and worn out

Washed up and worn out for sure

This getting older

Well it ain’t for cowards

This getting older

Is a lot to go through
