Songtexte Alice Ruth - Rehab

In a chair sits Alice Ruth,
Just turned 99 years young.
And she only speaks the truth
Said getting old ain't no fun!

Back in 1917
Baby girl, she hit the world.
And I can still see the love in her eyes;
Now I hear the wisdom in her words.
And it's crazy to imagine,
Everything she's ever seen.
It's been a while since she lost Ira;
Said he just sat down and fell asleep.

In a chair sits Alice Ruth,
Just turned 99 years young.
And she only speaks the truth
Said getting old ain't no fun!

Said her farther used to tell her
Little girl, life is tough.
It's all a series of adjustments;
Gotta take it as it comes.
Then she said she knew a rich man.
Don't you know that rich man done died?
She just laughed and laughed and said
Make sure you rest when you get tired.

In a chair sits Alice Ruth,
Just turned 99 years young.
And she only speaks the truth
Said getting old ain't no fun!
