Don't Need This Body
Dedicated to a good man, and his son, another good man. In the end, the best thing you can say:
"He was a good man."
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 gonna' need this body much longer
Ain't gonna' need this body much more.
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 gonna' need this body much longer
Ain't gonna' need this body much more.
I put in ten million hours
Washed up and worn out for sure.
All my friends are sick or dying
And I'm here by myself
All I got left is a headful of memories
And a thought of my upcoming death
Ain't gonna' need this body much longer
Ain't gonna' need this body much more.
I put in ten million hours
Washed up and worn out for sure
(This is the important part)
Well I know one thing I'll die easy
And I know my life is not in vain
Because I loved and fought with many
And the people, they loved me
just the same.
This getting older ain't for cowards.
This getting older is a lot to go through
Ain't gonna' need this body much longer
Ain't gonna' need this body much more.
