The body now old and worn But my mind is still sound To many broken bones from my early years Rugby the game that I loved Still love But rugby back then in army Was a different game The sly punch in the testicles Punch in the mouth Well that was all part of the game Later you would share a beer with the guy Who broke your fingers No, no we'll never grow old Until you wake one morning And feel the pain In long past shattered bones
