about

This is a song in the hillbilly style. Funnily enough I thought I was "getting old" when I wrote this at 37 or 38 years old.

lyrics

I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
I don't cotton to chewin I like to be spoon-fed
I got a brand spankin TV 6 feet wide
I believe my dog is cooked and I know my weiner's fried

I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
There's a weird kind of fungus growin in my bed
My room is moist and dark I lick my balls and bark
Opened up my brain and down came the rain

I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
a hundred and ten good reasons not to get out of bed
I ain't a possum, a squirrel or a skunk
I never fucked a monkey - 'cept once when you were drunk

I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
Ain't got nothin' to say that ain't already been said
I got a busted back and a bent up brain
I'm just sittin here in my rockin chair waiting for the fire and rain

I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
I got old grey bones and a soft sad head
