Old Rooster by Loretta Lynn Lyrics

[Verse]
He's forty, but he thinks that he's twenty
He's got that boyish grin and he grins plenty
At every pretty girl that he's passin'
He thinks that they're all his for the askin'

[Verse]
He's never aged a day, hear him swear
Loving cares done wonders for his hair
Except a few bald spots are showin'
The old rooster's back and he's crowin'

[Chorus]
The old roosters back and he's crowin'
Age ain't taught him nothing and it's showin'
One of these days, he'll wake up and know
He's been knocked off his roostin' pole

[Verse]
He's the king of the roost, see him struttin'
For punishment, that old boy's a glutton
This old hen might start feather-picking
If he don't stop eyeballing the chickens
[Verse]
Adamantly, he's taken by the truckload
He says that he's never gonna grow old
But I've got news for him that's quite alarmin'
He became a grandpa this mornin'

[Chorus]
The old roosters back and he's crowin'
Age ain't taught him nothing and it's showin'
One of these days, he'll wake up and know
He's been knocked off his roostin' pole
