You've all heard it said I shoulda been dead a long time ago From drinking too much whiskey But there's one thing you don't know I've always been a survivor Through all my ups and downs And it makes no difference what they say Cause this old boy is still around
Well I might be used But I ain't used up I'm sitting all ready and I'll show you my stuff I got a 6 piece band and my old guitar I've traveled this old land near and far As a matter of fact Old Pay ain't checked out yet
Yeah I've got a few old rough edges But Lord knows I've been through hell Living out an image A part I've earned so well Now I won't say that I'm changing Heaven knows that I've tried But I'm back in the gate So you might better wait Before you kiss old Johnny goodbye.
