[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse 1]
G
The prices ain't what they used to be
D
But this time of year you'll still find me
Em C
Wadin down a creek settin muskrat lines
G
My kids say, I oughtta hang it up
D
They bought me a phone to keep in the truck
Em C
But it's turned off and outta reach most the time
D C
I tell 'em a creek bank ain't a bad place to die
[Chorus]
G D
I'm and old man, livin out my days in a strange land
Em
The face I shave is a different man's
C
Who I don't recognize
G D
All the wear and tear, weren't for my kids I'd be outta here
Em
Never look back, and I wouldn't care
C G
What I left behind, but I worry what I'm leavin behind
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
G
I still keep a few head out back
D
And I sit here watchin em pick the grass
Em C
Them cows is the closest thing I got left to friends
G
Cause the old souls in their big wet eyes
D
Is the one thing I still recognise
Em C
So I ain't got the heart to haul em in
D C
I just move em back and forth, pasture to pen
[Chorus]
G D
I'm and old man, livin out my days in a strange land
Em
The face I shave is a different man's
C
Who I don't recognize
G D
All the wear and tear, weren't for my kids I'd be outta here
Em
Never look back, and I wouldn't care
C G
What I left behind, but I worry what I'm leavin behind
[Bridge]
Em
Cause the pheasants ain't in the fence rows
D
And we're all starin at our cell phones
G C
Not listenin to the Earth as he cries
[Chorus]
G D
I'm and old man, livin out my days in a strange land
Em
The face I shave is a different man's
C D
Who I don't recognize
G D
All the wear and tear, weren't for my kids I'd be outta here
Em
Never look back, and I wouldn't care
C G
What I left behind, but I worry what I'm leavin behind
