Lyrics

This old body has seen better days
Years of living have left it grey
There was a time that it stand so strong and straight
This old body has seen better days

These old hands are cracked and dried
From working hard their whole life
For my family they did provide
These old hands are cracked and dried

These old knees they throb and ache
From nights of dancing and Sundays praise
There was a time that they could easily bear the weight
These old knees throb and they ache

Chorus
This old body has served me well
Like the chapters in a book it’s got a story to tell
But the pages are torn and lord that covers frayed
This old body has seen better days

These old eyes o’ the sights that they’ve seen
Mountains tall and valleys deep
Prairies wide and the coastal seas
These old eyes and the sights that they’ve seen

This old heart only had one love
But she’s left for the heavens above
She said she’d wait on glory shores until my come
This old heart only had one love

Chorus
This old body has served me well
Like the chapters in a book it’s got a story to tell
But the pages are torn and lord that covers frayed
This old body has seen better days
