Slippin' in a cross-town bar

Now I'm racing home to beat the dark
                              Cm          Eb
Instead of doing some of what I should

Rockin' beers for lunch, up to nothing good

I got things to do but I didn't
           Eb             Cm

Lord to get ahead baby better get it fast

All your future plans can come to past

It ain't funny when it slips away

I believe it that I'm weakening down
                 F      Cm                   Eb
I used to laugh about it but the time is now
                            Cm           Eb
Still the same but I'm not as strong
                     Cm              Ab
As I used to and it just seems wrong
      Gm                    Fm                Ab
I keep pushing through the aches and pains
                Gm            Fm            Ab
Might be a bit older I still feel the same
            Gm               Fm                  Ab
I don't mind if I don't sleep through the night
         Gm            Fm
I just know I keep on holding tight, holding
     Eb
Hold on
