Porter Wagoner - Tomorrow We'll Retire lyrics

Dad's old faded trouser and mama's old crept dress They're not much in the pa**ions now they can't afford the best I know they feel neglected and sometimes in the way Because the last time I was home I heard my mama say Well you kids have all got married off now and left us by ourselves My we didn't know what lonesome was until the last one of you've left You've all got families of your own that all your friends did mar And now that we've seen our dreams come true tomorrow we'll retire We still have the old homeplace we paid it off last year And we don't owe a soul a dime now everything is clear So we'll just relive our younger days and sit here by the fire And if we both live through the night tomorrow we'll retire Why we've seen the rainstorms flood our fields and wash our crops away And then the droughts would come to follow this and last for days and days Why the point of me is work in the fields when that old sun was hot as fire But that's all in the furthest past now tomorrow we'll retire In health we've both been lucky but now we're gettin' kinda great Our pension starts tomorrow it's just enough to our way And we've lived to see you kids grow up and that's been our heart's desire And if the world would end tonight tomorrow we'll retire so tomorrow we'll retire
