old age Songtext / Lyric

Old Age

Youth is a precious time in your life
When everybody's close at hand
Age is a picture in a story book
In the hands of a very old man
I've got to stay young, I've got to keep my prime

What 'cha gonna do when old age catch you
What 'cha gonna do about time?

I'm gonna get myself a rocking chair
To rock my blues away
Watch death coming slipping in the living room
To be born on another day
Get myself a wife and home
Raise up another child
And if death decides to play a third game
I'll play it with a smile

What 'cha gonna do when old age catch you
What 'cha gonna do about time?
