"Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody's Doing It)" lyrics - BOWLING FOR SOUP

He grew up three blocks away
The same old neighborhood
Spends too much time on his lawn
When there's no football on
Where did the time go?
What's that on his face?
Always thought we'd live forever
I don't think we're up for that
(Get to bed by 9 p.m.)

[Chorus:]
We used to run wild in the streets
Now we complain when cars drive too fast
And the music is insanely loud
Now our tattoos are fading away
And looking back, it was all worth it
The truth is: getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it

We worked at all the same jobs
We chased the same girls
We played in all the same bands
Each other's best-est man
You had a heart attack
I've got two bum knees
We don't wanna live forever
What the fuck is TikTok?
(Golf checkers, bingo, dominoes)

[Chorus:]
We used to run wild in the streets
Now we complain when cars drive too fast
And the music is insanely loud
Now our memories are fading away
And looking back, it was all worth it
The truth is: getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it

[Bridge:]
Alright, I don't think we can do bridges anymore
We need a break
Smells like Werther's Original in here
And Old Milwaukee and Folgers
Are those New Balance?

[Chorus:]
We used to run wild in the streets
Now we complain when cars drive too fast
And the music is insanely loud
Now the movies are cartoons and remakes of shit
That was better when we played our music too loud
Now our memories are fading away
And looking back, it was all worth it
The truth is: getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it

[Outro:]
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
The truth is: getting old sucks
But we're doing it right
