I remember when
We kids used to be two, three shots followed by a couple others
Wake up, have a beer, never needed to recover
A cold red Gatorade, and I'd feel great
Now it's a bottle of Advil and a whole next day
My old tricks don't work anymore
They don't get it done like they did before
Yeah, the cold, hard truth is gettin' harder to swallow
I guess the younger me is a hard act to follow
My old ways ain't workin' for me
Sometimes I still wake up and think I'm 23
All my elders used to tell me this would happen for sure
Now my old tricks don't work anymore, no, no
(TR, you think that's bad?)
Stupid jokes would make her laugh
Compliments would make her smile
Kisses on her neck always used to drive her wild
All the things I used to do, I can't get away with
Like sayin', "Golfin' with the boys is a business trip"
My old tricks don't work anymore
They don't get it done like they did before
Yeah, the cold, hard truth is gettin' harder to swallow
I guess the younger me is a hard act to follow
My old ways ain't workin' for me
Sometimes I still wake up and think I'm 23
All my elders used to tell me this would happen for sure
Now my old tricks don't work anymore
(Here we go!)
All my old, old tricks
They just don't work anymore
(Break it down)
My old tricks don't work anymore
They don't get it done like they did before
Yeah, the cold, hard truth is gettin' harder to swallow
I guess the younger me is a hard act to follow
My old ways ain't workin' for me
Sometimes I still wake up and think I'm 23
All my elders used to tell me this would happen for sure
Now my old tricks don't work anymore, no, no
We ain't gettin' any younger, are we? Hey
