Story behind the song
I went to a fast-food restaurant some time ago, and the young lady who took my order very innocently asked me if I were a senior citizen and did I want the senior discount. That was my first experience with realizing I was getting older. This song reflects those feelings.
Lyrics
I went to a fast-food restaurant
And ordered up a meal
The girl said that'll be $4.99
Do you want the senior deal
Well she caught me by surprise
Never thought about that before
Guess my gray hair gave it away
But it cut me to the core
That same day my doctor said
You're not a young man anymore
Things are changing in your life
Things don't work like they did before
But I have a sample viagra here
It'll lift your spirits for sure
It's the closest thing you'll ever find
To a miracle cure
(ch)
This thing about gettin' old
Ain't what it's cracked up to be
My golden years ain't gold at all
As far as I could see
I'm still lookin' for a fountain of youth
And a pot of gold
And I'll be damned if I ever give in
To this thing about gettin' old
I'm not gonna let this get to me
I read you're just as young as you feel
Well I'm just as good as I ever was
I still got my sex appeal
I'm gonna try something new
Made my mind up there and then
Tomorrow I'll be twenty years younger
Thanks to JUST FOR MEN
(ch)
