Story Behind The Song

Everybody Gets Old!

Lyrics

Other Then That, I'm Doin' Pretty Good
Ed Bentley Writer edbentley@mail.com
{ Verse 1}
Two old boys met down at the town park
One said, "Friend, it's been a while
Truth is, I thought died, your light went dark!"
The other laughed, shook his head with a smile
{ Chorus }
He said, "My knees don't bend, my back's all sore,
Takes me half an hour just to get through the door.
Life's not easy, I'd change it if I could
But other than that, I'm doin' pretty good."
{ Verse 2 }
"Doctor says no pie, no more beer,
Got a brand-new hip, but I still creak some
Can't hear much with these worn-out ears,
Sometimes I walk in a room and forget how come."
{ Chorus }
"My knees don't bend, my back's all sore,
Takes me half an hour just to get through the door.
Life's not easy, I'd change it if I could
But other than that, I'm doin' pretty good."


{ Verse 3}
"The grand kids laugh when I try to text
Roll their eyes at my old flip phone
But I dance with Mama, love her best
Guess that's the reason I ain't alone."
{Bridge}
"Some folks chase money, some chase fame
I'm just proud, I still remember my name
Every day's a blessing, knock on wood,
And other than that... I'm doin' pretty good."
{Final Chorus}
"My knees don't bend, my back's all sore,
Takes me half an hour, get through the door.
Life's not easy, change it if I could --
But other than that, I'm doin' pretty good!"
Yeah, other than that, I'm doin' pretty good!"
