Chris Knight - Old Man lyrics

rate me

Got an old horse, runs lose on the farm

Like a big dog, don’t do no harm

I live down a dead end track

Me and my horse and them chickens out back

Raised five kids, they all up and gone

They came up rough, not a one went wrong

My old woman died, they scattered her in the wind

And I never know when I’ll see them again

And, I’m an old man, done all I can

I been working this land since I was 24

I’m an old man,

Ain’t a whole lot going on around here anymore

Had on old dog, lived 15 years

Train got its leg, coon got its ear

He loved to hunt, he loved to fight

The way I used to be on a Saturday night

And, I’m an old man, done all I can

I been working this land since I was 24

I’m an old man,

Ain’t a whole lot going on around here anymore

I still work a good half a day

Plant a little corn, cut a little hay

I don’t wanna die till I live too long

They’ll sell this place whenever I’m gone

I miss my sweetheart so and the way she used to smile

And I miss them kids of mine running wild

The daylight fads to late afternoon

‘Bout all I know it was gone to soon

And, I’m an old man, done all I can

I been working this land since I was 24

I’m an old man,

Ain’t a whole lot going on around here anymore

Ain’t a whole lot going on around here anymore
