Merle Haggard – Im An Old Old Man Trying To Live While I Can (Guitar)

C
Said an old man to a good-looking girl,

                                      G7
"Well, I've been around this big wide world,

     F
That home on the hill, well honey, that's mine,

C                      G7             C
I've got the money, if you've got the time".

C
Well I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore,

                                    G
I can still get around like I did before,

           F
So you can come along with me, my sweet sweet hon,

       C       G7          C
I'm an old man looking for fun.

C
Yeah what I can do now, most young men can't,

                                           G7
There's not a town that this old boy can't paint,

      F
I can make all the night clubs any old time,

      C                        G7        C
I may be a little old, but I'm doing all right.

C
Well I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore,

                                    G
I can still get around like I did before,

           F
So you can come along with me, my sweet sweet hon,

       C       G7            C
I'm an old man searching for fun.

C
Don't take me wrong, I just wanna have fun,

                                       G7
Have someone along to help me spend my mon',

           F
'Cause you don't live but once so please understand,

            C                      G7           C
That I'm an old, old man trying to live while I can.

C
