[Verse 1] Years ago I had a knack For chasing pretty girls in backyards I’d slick my hair, I’d wink and grin And somehow I’d still get far Now my knees sound like a screen door My pride fell off the truck Last Tuesday, one look at trouble And I just yelled, “Good luck” [Pre-Chorus] I used to be quick on my feet Used to think I was hot stuff But age came in like a hurricane And softened all my bluff [Chorus] I couldn’t even run From an ugly one I tried to act tough But my legs said, “Son, we’re done” I used to chase pretty girls Now I just come undone I couldn’t even run From an ugly one [Verse 2] She had a glare like a scratch-off And a laugh like a barking hound I hopped the fence, I grabbed my hat And still she tracked me down My boots got tangled in the gravel My heart went through the floor I’d have made a break for freedom If my ankles’d work some more [Pre-Chorus] I used to be fast as a deer Back when my jeans were snug Now I’m out here puffing dust Like an old farm truck [Chorus] I couldn’t even run From an ugly one I tried to act tough But my legs said, “Son, we’re done” I used to chase pretty girls Now I just come undone I couldn’t even run From an ugly one [Bridge] Maybe I’m not built for glory Maybe I’m built for pace Maybe I should stay on my porch And let my memory race If youth comes back, I’ll thank it If not, I’ll still have fun But don’t ask me to sprint today I’m out of gas, hon [Chorus] I couldn’t even run From an ugly one I tried to act tough But my legs said, “Son, we’re done” I used to chase pretty girls Now I just come undone I couldn’t even run From an ugly one
