Old man in the moon Shining in my rearview Leaving that tennessee town You're all I have to talk to Don't know where my dog ran off to But he's gone And has been for a while now Where I'm bound? Well I haven't figured it out I'm sure I'll find my usual old wrong way The cost to leave ain't cheap I don't need no eat or sleep Even if I did I lost my job, so I don't got much pay But it's okay Cause anymore would burn hole in my pocket Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke Besides this pair of jeans is already pretty teared at the seams The last that I need is a pant stain from a smoke I'm gonna ride until my ride quits riding Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off Yes sir I'll be a sight when I get where They're looking mean and loud But tonight I'm feeling free and friendly Barely scraping change Waving goodbye Say old man in the moon I hear that you get blue too It must be lonesome way up in the sky The stars seem mighty proud If I were you I'd hate a cloud All they ever do is hang around and cry Guess it ain't a shame To be rolling like a slow train Or glowing like only you do, I'll tell you what I'll keep right on track, if you keep shining bright like that I bet before we know it, this journey will be through And the hard times too But it's okay Cause anymore would burn hole in my pocket Lord I can't afford to be a poor boy broke Besides this pair of jeans is already pretty teared at the seams The last that I need is a pant stain from a smoke I'm gonna ride until my ride quits riding Then I'm gonna walk until my boots walk off Yes sir I'll be a sight when I get where They're looking mean and loud But tonight I'm feeling free and friendly Barely scraping change Waving goodbye
