Lyrics

Verse:
If these bones could talk, they'd have so much to say
With an insider view of my life they've watched me day by day
They've had a constant job; holding me up from bottom to top
I can't imagine life without 'em; wouldn't look good as a blob

Chorus:
These bones have been my strength
They've stretched me to new lengths
We've celebrated my birthday; so many times I lost count
These bones have built me; hope they don't wear out ... these bones

Verse:
If these bones could sing, oh the songs they'd sing for me
Like What Was I Thinking?, Hot Rod Lincoln, Can't Tell Me Nothing and Let It Be
They keep me on my toes with calcium and marrow
When life wants to bend me a little too far, they hold me straight and narrow

Chorus:
These bones have been my strength
They've stretched me to new lengths
We've celebrated my birthday; so many times I lost count
These bones have built me; hope they don't wear out

Bridge:
Some folks talk about hearts and minds discussing the human condition
But bones got us all walking upright; time they got recognition

Chorus:
These bones have been my strength
They've stretched me to new lengths
We've celebrated my birthday; so many times I lost count
These bones have built me; hope they don't wear out ... these bones
