Somewhere on the old Kern River there's an old cane pole
G7G7 C majorC
That waits for me patiently this city job might drag me down
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
But one fine day I'm gonna be set free wait and see
FF C majorC
And then I'm gonna go down to where the waters touch the sky
FF C majorC G7G7
Where the old men's laughter goes like a lullaby
C majorC FF C majorC
Sixty five c'mon sixty five it's a sin to waste my life away
G7G7 C majorC FF C majorC
But I can't wait till I'm sixty five c'mon sixty five
G7G7 FF C majorC
There's a gold watch if I get out alive past sixty five

Now somewhere in my memories I recall a boy
G7G7 C majorC
Seventeen full of dreams dreams and life just stripped away
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
A augmentedA layer at a time now what's left ain't hardly me

Oh but I saved up a little here and there to get me by
FF C majorC G7G7
Enough to mend my ragged wings and once again I'll fly
C majorC FF C majorC
Sixty five c'mon sixty five it's a sin to waste my life away

And the day that I walk out of here I'll hold my head up high
