Lyrics
When I get old say sixty-four
Just cuz it?s been said
Would you love me till I?m dead on the floor
Cuz I?m tired & I can?t drink no more
Would ya sit n? play cards with me
Just because I?m dumb
& all our friends know it?s no fun playin? cards
With a slow hand keep em? up all night
I could live another day knowin? I?m o.k.
Cuz you?ve always been a friend to me
Friend to me
When I get up would you fill my cup
Just to clear my head
& then help to make the bed I?m such a mess
Without you to pick me up my love
Solo
& If I get tired o? this here rock n? roll
Just because I?m deaf & My hands are all a mess
Put me to sleep
Though my former glory meant nothin? to me
Chorus
