There was an old man, in my home town
Well he didn't talk too much
Or try to bring you down
Well he was happy, just to bide his time
Well he wait to join his wife
Well on the other side
He just sit on his porch, most every night
He rock back and forth, take in all the sights
He worked his fingers right down to the bone
He raised a family, and he called it home
He said I ain't got much but I got what I need
My wife's in the ground lord I know her spirits free

I've done my living, now it's time for me to leave
Well that old man, in my home town

He wait to join his wife, on the other side
He said I ain't got much but I got what I need

Gonna bring it on back
Lord I said hey hey, gonna bring it on back
Gonna bring it on back
Gonna bring it on back
Hey hey, bide my time
Hey hey, just bide my time
Hey hey, just bide my time
Hey hey, just bide my time
Hey hey, just bide my time
Hey hey, just bide my time
Hey hey, just bide my time
He said I ain't got much but I got what I need
