about

it's not the age, its the mileage

lyrics

There’s the saffron Buick he drove off the lot,
It will make it to the bar before the engine gets hot
The ashtray is full and when he drives that car
They blow black smoke and hack up tar

Hard, hard, fifty-two
Skin so thin that the bones show through
Wont crack a smile or shed any tears
For a century of living in fifty -two years

He’s done every job there is to be had
Where the work is hard and the pay is bad
When if times are better, or times are worse
Its whisky not water that will quench his thirst

Hard luck times- a heavy plow
That left furrows deep across his brow
sun and rain, watch it grow
sandpaper stubble just white as snow
