Merle Haggard - I'm An Old Old Man Tryin' To Live While I Can lyrics

rate me

(Lefty Frizzell)

Said an old man to a good lookin' girl

Well I've been around this big wide world

That home on the hill well honey that's mine

I've got the money if you've got the time.

Well I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore

I can stlll get around like I did before

So you come along with me my sweet sweet hon

I'm an old man lookin' for fun.

Yeah what I can do now most young men can't

There's not a town this old boy can't paint

I can make all the night clubs any old time

I may be a little old but I'm doin' all right.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore

I can stlll get around like I did before

So come along with me my sweet sweet hon

I'm an old old man searchin' for fun.

Don't take me wrong I just want have fun

Have someone along to help me spend my mon

'Cause you don't live but once so please understand

That I'm an old old man tryin' to live while I can.
