I've been through the nursing homes
Mom died in one of those places
I've seen them with Alzheimer's
That blank look on their faces

I Don't Wanna Get Old
Can't stand all that white hair
Don't put me on no walker
Don't sit me in no wheel chair

I'm flying to Indonesia
For a total solar eclipse
I hope my plane goes down
Somewhere in the Pacific

Bury me with Amelia
The bottom of the ocean
Good morning, Ms Earhart
What a sad crazy notion

I Don't Wanna Get Old
Can't stand all that white hair
Don't put me on no walker
Don't sit me in no wheel chair
I'm flying to Indonesia
For a total solar eclipse
I hope my plane goes down
Somewhere in the Pacific

guitar

A no win situation
At least I'm in no rocker
My final resting place
Deep in Davy Jones' locker

I Don't Wanna Get Old
Can't stand all that white hair
Don't put me on no walker
Don't sit me in no wheel chair
I'm flying to Indonesia
For a total solar eclipse
I hope my plane goes down
Somewhere in the Pacific

I Don't Wanna Get Old
But I seldom get my way
