|
I'm an old man now, |
|
I can't do nothing |
|
Young folks don't pay me no mind |
|
But in my day |
|
I sure was something |
|
Before I felt the heavy hand of time |
|
I'm an old man now, |
|
I'm bound for glory |
|
Time to lay these burdens down |
|
Had enough of this old world of worry |
|
Gonna trade my troubles for a crown |
|
I will make my way across the fields of cotton |
|
And wade through muddy waters one last time |
|
And in my dreams |
|
I come out clean |
|
When I reach the other side |
|
Waste away the sunsets where rainbows never die |
|
I've got on last thing to do |
|
One more mile before |
|
I'm through |
|
Casting off these earthly chains |
|
Going where there's no more pain |
|
I will make my way across the fields of cotton |
|
And wade through muddy waters one last time |
|
And in my dreams |
|
I come out clean |
|
When I reach the other side |
|
Waste away the sunsets where rainbows never die |
|
I'm an old man now, can't do nothing |
|
Young folks don't pay me no mind |
