lyrics

Can you take me down that old dirt road
Twenty miles away
I was headed towards the city
But I know the city can wait another day
Spark a fire and lay down your load
Smell the smoke in the rain
I've got me some whiskey
and a fiddle to tell my tale and ease the pain

'Cause New Year's is on us now
We've lost all our mothers
And we're the only fathers I know
Yesterday's all I can see
Today's fadin' fast as me

Settin' sail now at the break of dawn
Save my troubles for tomorrow
My bottle is empty
But I think I'll reach the city before too long
And I ain't seen but where I've already gone
And everything I did is done
And I got me a woman on my mind
God bless my soul, ain't I still young?

If I got my bible, and you got your rifle
We'll take the towns and countries
And sing about it around the fire
Yesterday's all I can see
Today's fadin' fast as me
