Verse 1
Old man in the moon
Shining in my rearview
Leaving that Tennessee town
You're all I have to talk to don't know where my dog ran off to
But he's gone
And has been for awhile now
Where I'm bound?
Well I haven't figured it out;
I'm sure I'll find my usual Wrong Way
The cost to leave ain't cheap
I don't need no eat or sleep
Even if I did I lost my job, so I ain't got much pay
Chorus
But it's Okay
Cuz anymore would burn hole in my pocket
Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke
Besides this pair of jeans is already pretty teared at the seams
The last that I need is a pant stain from a smoke
I'm gonna ride until my ride quits riding
Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off!
Yes sir I'll be a sight when I get where
They're looking mean and lack
But tonight I'm feeling free and friendly
Barely scraping change
Waving Goodbye!
Verse 2
Say Old man in the moon
I hear that you get blue too
It must be lonesome way up in the sky
The stars seem mighty proud
If I were you I'd hate a cloud
All they ever do is hang around and cry
Guess it ain't a shame to be rolling like a slow train
Or glowing like only you do, I'll tell you what;
I'll keep right on track, if you keep shining bright like that!
I bet before we know it, this journey will be through;
And the hard times too!
Chorus
Man anymore would burn hole in my pocket
Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke
Besides this pair of jeans is already pretty teared at the seams
The last that I need is a pant stain from a smoke
I'm gonna ride until my ride quits riding
Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off!
Yes sir I'll be a sight when I get where
They're looking mean and lack
But tonight I'm feeling free and friendly
Barely scraping change
Waving Goodbye!
Waving Goodbye!
Waving Goodbye....
