Paroles de Old Man

Got a old horse
Run loose on the farm
Like a big dog
Don't do no harm

And I live down
A dead end track
Me and my horse
And them chickens out back

Raised five kids
They've all up and gone
Came up rough
Not a one went wrong

When the old woman died
They scattered in the wind
And I never know
When I'll see em again

[Chorus]
I'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24
I'm an old man Train got his leg
Coon got his ear

He loved to hunt
He loved to fight
The way I used to be
On Saturday night

[Chorus]

I still work
A good half a day
Plant a little corn
Cut a little hay

Don't want a die
Until I've lived too long
They'll sell this place
Whenever I'm gone

I miss my sweetheart so
And they way she used to smile
I miss them kids of mine
Runnin' wild

When daylight fades
In late afternoon
Bout all I know is
It was gone to soon

[Chorus]

Ain't a whole log going on around her anymore
Ain't a whole lot going on around her any more
