I had a girl, but I did not have a car.
So I won her heart with a beat up old guitar.
I don't know where most of my old friends are
But she's right here next to me
I would sing just to see of she would laugh
I would sing to make her smile if she was sad
It was a good old time and we're never gonna get it back
But It's a real good memory
And we rocked until the sun came up
We rocked until we'd had enough
We rocked when it was good and we rocked when it was rough.
Till the morning come.
Got me a girl, and I've got some little boys
The only thing that never changes is the noise
Every corner of this house is filled with toys
It's a big ol' family
We tried the lullabye, and we counted sheep
But tonight this child of mine won't go to sleep
She's daddy's girl and it's a love that runs real deep
To the bottom of the sea
So we'll rock until the sun comes up
We'll rock until she's had enough
We'll rock when nights are good
And we'll rock when nights are rough
Til the morning come.
Tonight we're gonna sit around and sing
And reminisce about the way things used to be
Before old age caught up to you and me
Back when we were young
I plan to spend my last few days and nights
In this chair, just you and me and a porch light
We've come a long long way and we’ve lived a long long life
It's been a good run
And we're gonna rock until the sun comes up
We're gonna rock until we've had enough
We're gonna rock right here til the good Lord calls us up
And the morning comes.
