Never Fallen On My Duff
Up and at 'em, the old saying goes
But today's not one of those days
Still got sleepy in my tired old eyes
Everything is just a big haze
It's harder and harder to jump outta bed
Welcoming each brand new morning
Lotsa things change as we start to age
They happen without any warning
Once was able to walk for a mile
Without having to sit by a tree
Now just making it across the street
Without stopping is a challenge for me
My life has proven damn good so far
No serious health issues or stuff
Been a lucky individual all my long life
Never once have I fallen on my duff
