Lyrics
The mind is willin'.
But the body says no, no ,no
The mind is willin'.
But the body won't go.
When I wake up in the mornin',
Try to roll out of bed.
The bones in my body,
Won't listen to my head.
My back is aching. And my feet hurt too.
So I take a shot of whiskey,
Cause that's the best I can do.
Chorus
Well, once I was a young man.
Now I am an old man.
I used to say yes I can.
Now I'm not so sure.
You know I like to have my fun.
And I would party all night long.
Now I'm in bed by 10.
What the hell went wrong.
Chorus
