lyrics

I sat out this morning sipping coffee in the rain
Thinking how the mornings used to be
Think on gettin older think on getting sober
Thinking bout the babe I used to rock upon my knee

I sat out this morning thinking times are movin on
Times are movin too fast for the news
Last night’s drinkin in my head, Megan fast asleep in bed
Thinking on ol Johnny Cash and thinking on the blues

Some men turn to women when they’re lonesome
Some men turn to gamblin when they’re blue
Some men turn to drinkin when there’s nothing else to do
Jesus lord take pity when I turn myself to you

Used to be I’d raise my voice in anger
Raise my fists and hang my head in shame
Losin out and getting had, pullin teeth and spittin mad
Spitting nails and looking for someone else to blame

I sat out this morning picking at this old guitar
Outta work and noting more to lose
Thinking bout the friends I known, kids I raised all up and grown
Thinkin bout the songs that get us workin people through

Sometimes I get thinking that its time to quit the drinking
Time to pick my feet up off the ground
Take my girl and take my pride break on through to the other side
‘Fore this big ol world stops spinning round
Baby set us up another round

Used to be a father and I used to be a son
Nowadays I’m just another fool
Thinkin how to get along, pickin old time country songs
Thinkin on old Johnny Cash and thinking on the blues

Think on getting older, think on getting sober
Thinkin on old Johnny Cash and thinking on the blues

This ain't your mom's folk music, but it might just be your old drunk grand-daddy's.
