I’m An Old Old Man Tryin To Live While I Can by Lefty Frizzell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Said an old man to a good-looking girl
Well I've been around this big wide world
That home on the hill well honey that's mine
I got the money and got lots of time
[Verse 2]
I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore
I can still get around like I did before
So come along with me my sweet sweet hon'
I'm an old old man searching for fun
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
What I can do now most young men can't
There's not a town that this old boy can't paint
I can make all the clubs just any old night
I may feel little older but I'm doing alright
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Don't take me wrong I just wanna 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 trying to live while I can
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
I got money to spend, a new car to drive
And I won't give in we'll have fun man alive
And we'll honky tonk all the night long
I'm just an old man that don't wanna go home
Said an old man to a good-looking girl
Well I've been around this big wide world
That home on the hill well honey that's mine
I got the money and got lots of time
[Verse 2]
I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore
I can still get around like I did before
So come along with me my sweet sweet hon'
I'm an old old man searching for fun
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
What I can do now most young men can't
There's not a town that this old boy can't paint
I can make all the clubs just any old night
I may feel little older but I'm doing alright
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Don't take me wrong I just wanna 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 trying to live while I can
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
I got money to spend, a new car to drive
And I won't give in we'll have fun man alive
And we'll honky tonk all the night long
I'm just an old man that don't wanna go home
