Old Man

Got a old horse
Run loose on the farm
Like a big dog
Don't do no harmAnd I live down
A dead end track
Me and my horse
And them chickens out backRaised five kids
They've all up and gone
Came up rough
Not a one went wrongWhen the old woman died
They scattered in the wind
And I never know
When I'll see em againI'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24I'm an old man
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around here anymoreHad an old dog
Lived 15 years
Train got his leg
Coon got his earHe loved to hunt
He loved to fight
The way I used to be
On Saturday nightI'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24I'm an old man
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around here anymoreI still work
A good half a day
Plant a little corn
Cut a little hayDon't want a-die
Until I've lived too long
They'll sell this place
Whenever I'm goneI miss my sweetheart so
And they way she used to smile
I miss them kids of mine
Runnin' wildWhen daylight fades
In late afternoon
'Bout all I know is
It was gone to soonI'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24I'm an old man
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around here anymoreAin't a whole log goin on
Around her anymore
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around her any more
