Hey Boys Lyrics - Singles - Dillards

When I was young and lived along the Meramec 

Washed in the river when the water ran clean 

Waited for the day I could buy me a Cadillac 

And see a lot of things that I never had seen 

Went to the city and I got a little older 

And I got a little smarter and I learned good sense 

Went back home and I married me a woman 

Got a corn land bottom and a barbed wire fence 

Chorus: 

Hey boys, I think I'm gettin' old 

Sittin' by the fire when the weather gets cold 

Don't care, down around the farm 

And another little drink won't do us any harm 

Hard times, made a little moonshine 

Never done that in my life before 

Kept up with the news in the winter time 

Sittin' on a barrel in the country store. 

Rare back, talk about yer politics 

Fight about religion and worry 'bout war 

Pa said, spittin' in the fireplace 

Pour a little cider when your throat gets sore 

Hey boys 

I think I'm gettin' old.
