Dillards - Hey Boys lyrics

When I was young and lived along the Meramec Washed in the river when the water ran clean Waited for the day I could buy me a Cadillac And see a lot of things that I never had seen Went to the city and I got a little older And I got a little smarter and I learned good sense Went back home and I married me a woman Got a corn land bottom and a barbed wire fence Chorus: Hey boys, I think I'm gettin' old Sittin' by the fire when the weather gets cold Don't care, down around the farm And another little drink won't do us any harm Hard times, made a little moonshine Never done that in my life before Kept up with the news in the winter time Sittin' on a barrel in the country store. Rare back, talk about yer politics Fight about religion and worry 'bout war Pa said, spittin' in the fireplace Pour a little cider when your throat gets sore Hey boys I think I'm gettin' old.
