This old road don’t seem to end

This old dog won’t hunt

My old gal’s gone completely round the bend

Maybe it’s time for me to punt

But there’s a halo round the moon tonight

It’s got me wondering what tomorrow’s gonna do

 

This old heart’s seen better days

This old gun won’t shoot

My get up and go has gone and made a getaway

Ought to give myself the boot

But there’s been lightening on the ridge tonight

And I hate to miss a good thunderstorm

 

(chorus)

When I’m feeling like the day’s too long, I’m too far gone

The night puts on a magic show right here in my front lawn

Like it’s telling me I got to keep on keeping on

And I start singing this old song

 

(inst verse)

I’m the straw that stirs the Milky Way

And I challenge any man to prove me wrong

 

(chorus)

 

These old bones make too much noise

This old guitar won’t tune

Some of the best of the good old boys

Are calling from the dark side of the moon

But there’s a firefly jamboree tonight

Old coyote’s gonna sing his lonesome blues

 

(chorus)

 

This old song don't seem to end
