Silver hair and ragged shirt and

baggy pants
C                   D     C

      C        D
I was down and out
   G               Bm             
He looked to me to be the eyes of 
Em   C
age
                  D   C
As he spoke right out
             B7                Em 
He talked of life he talked of 
  A7
life
                             D   D7

Em            C           D7
danced a lick, across the cell
   G                   Bm         
He grabbed his pants a better

stance then he jumped so high
               D7
He clicked his heels

shows and county fairs,  
        D7

years how his dog and him,  
D7  C
traveled about

Hell I drinks a bit
