and never once looked back.
I just thought I'd mention

my grandma's old -age pension
D

is the reason why I'm standing here today.

I got all my country learning,
G 
milking and a -churning,

picking cotton, raising cane,
A

and a -bailing hay.

I like your wiggling, your walking,
G 
and your big city talking,
D 
and your brand new shiny
A 
D 
Plymouth ragtop car.
Well, it's hurry up and wait
G 
in this world of give and take.
D 
It seems like haste,
it makes for waste every time.
Am

G 
when you hear those ages roll

You better know I'm gonna
A
