lyrics
'm old enough to know better, too young to care
I've seen the worst and I', nine the worse for wear
Walked a thousand miles and my soles are wearing thin
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
My skin is showing through where there used to be hair
Other parts are fuzzy that used to be bare
Everyday there's a little more grey on my chin
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
Don't call me a cab I ain't ready to leave
I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve
I'm still in the game, not ready to fold, cause I'm
Too young, too young, too young to be old
I'm not fat but I'm not skinny no more
Everyday everything gets closer to the floor
I'm deaf in one ear and my eyesight's getting dim
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
Don't call me a cab I ain't ready to leave
I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve
I'm still in the game, not ready to fold, cause I'm
Too young, too young, too young to be old
I'm not fat but I'm not skinny no more
Everyday everything gets closer to the floor
Given the chance I'd do it all over again
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
I've seen the worst and I', nine the worse for wear
Walked a thousand miles and my soles are wearing thin
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
My skin is showing through where there used to be hair
Other parts are fuzzy that used to be bare
Everyday there's a little more grey on my chin
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
Don't call me a cab I ain't ready to leave
I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve
I'm still in the game, not ready to fold, cause I'm
Too young, too young, too young to be old
I'm not fat but I'm not skinny no more
Everyday everything gets closer to the floor
I'm deaf in one ear and my eyesight's getting dim
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
Don't call me a cab I ain't ready to leave
I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve
I'm still in the game, not ready to fold, cause I'm
Too young, too young, too young to be old
I'm not fat but I'm not skinny no more
Everyday everything gets closer to the floor
Given the chance I'd do it all over again
I'm still in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
