Long In The Tooth Lyrics - Long In The Tooth - Billy Joe Shaver

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

Tryna tell ya I'm long in the tooth 

What I use to do all night, now takes all night to do 

But the women folk don't complain 

Cause I still got a young man's brain 

I still do more than most men do 

I'm telling you women I'm long in the tooth 

(Chorus) 

Long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth 

I'm telling you folks I'm long in the tooth 

I used to go bear huntin with a switch 

Sleep all week with the same old witch 

I put that grisly over my knee 

But I'm not the man I used to be 

(Verse 2) 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you telling I'm long in the tooth 

I had an alligator kiss my ass 

It's mostly luck he's runnin' that fast 

Showed him a thing or two 

I'm wearin alligator vest, eatin alligator stew 

(Chorus) 

Long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth 

I'm telling you children I'm long in the tooth 

Throw that football a country mile 

Leave all the women with a satisfied smile 

I used to be so wild and free 

Sometimes I wonder what happened to me 

(Interlude) 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you children I'm long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you woman I'm long in the tooth 

(Instrumental break) 

(Verse 3) 

Time did a number on me, I ain't the man I used to be 

Running at speed but I'm little at motion 

Live up to all them stories been told 

(Interlude x2) 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you children I'm long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you woman I'm long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you children I'm long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

I'm telling you folk I'm long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth 

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth
