Merle Haggard - Come on sixty five

^CSomewhere on the old Kern River ^Fthere's an old cane ^Cpole That waits for ^G7me patient^Cly this city job might drag me down

But ^Fone fine day I'm ^Cgonna be set ^G7free wait and ^Csee And ^Fthen I'm gonna go down to where the ^Cwaters touch the sky

^FWhere the old men's laughter ^Cgoes like a lulla^G7by

Sixty ^Cfive ^Fc'mon sixty ^Cfive it's a sin to waste my life away But I can't wait till ^G7I'm sixty ^Cfive ^Fc'mon sixty ^Cfive

There's a gold watch if I get out ^G7alive ^Fpast sixty ^Cfive

Now somewhere in my memories ^FI recall a ^Cboy Seven^G7teen full of ^Cdreams dreams and life just stripped away

A ^Flayer at a ^Ctime now what's ^G7left ain't hardly ^Cme Oh ^Fbut I saved up a little here and ^Cthere to get me by

^FEnough to mend my ragged wings and ^Conce again I'll ^G7fly

Sixty ^Cfive ^Fc'mon sixty ^Cfive it's a sin to waste my life away But I can't wait till ^G7I'm sixty ^Cfive ^Fc'mon sixty ^Cfive Lord the object of the games is to ^G7survive ^Fpast sixty ^Cfive

I've heard it said that hard work never ^Fdid a body's ^Cbody Any ^G7harm well they were ^Cwrong cause all these years of lifting things

I ^Fshould of left ^Calone took their ^G7toll my will was ^Cstrong And ^Fthe day that I walk out of here I'll ^Chold my head up high

^FThen I'll pawn this stupid watch and kiss ^Cthirty years good^G7bye

Sixty ^Cfive ^Fc'mon sixty ^Cfive it's a sin to waste my life away But I can't wait till ^G7I'm sixty ^Cfive ^Fc'mon sixty ^Cfive

There's a gold watch if I get out ^G7alive ^Fpast sixty ^Cfive

Now somewhere on the old Kern River ^Fthere's an old cane ^Cpole That waits for ^G7me patient^Cly
