Fight back stumbling hips,
Numbing legs please don't crumble,
Don't let 'em think rheumatoid arthritis won
Fight back stumbling hips,
Fingers flex, keep on squeezing..
Show the watching world, tho' we're old,
We're not done..

Every single move pains like the devil,
And I pop prescription pills each day
I'm leaning like that tower, so unlevel
But on my feet I have to try to stay..

So, fight back stumbling hips,
Squeaky knees please don't grumble
Hang on and carry these shaky bones around
Must make daily trips - to the town - cemetery,
And talk to my love, lying - deep in the ground

It's been seven years, since she departed
She had twice the heart and strength of me
Fifty years, we shared our lives together,
Today will be our anniversary..

So, fight back stumbling hips,
Numbing legs don't you crumble,
Can't let 'em think that bad old arthritis won
Fight back stumbling hips,
Fingers flex, keep on squeezing.
Show the watching world, tho' we're old,
We're not done..

Show the watching world, tho' we're old,
We're not done..
