Old Man Still Got It

from Groundhog's Day by Peck the Town Crier

lyrics

old man still got it
still got it
old man still got it
still good still got it


i been ill
since before the kama sutra
im about to speak, git the tape cued up

before i had hearing aids
and a bad hip
i used to run a gas station for my grip

still good,
still got it
wind broke my back man
gramps nearly bought it

still got it
still good
done with regrettin
i did what i should

shoulda bin a dead man long time ago
but it wasnt in the script
so i lived some mo

it aint about flippin, aint about fun
s'about the word of mouth, passed from father to sun
y'ask whos my daddy, i'm a sun of a gon
i was there, man when the first phonograph spun
it weighed a ton, the speaker was a horn
drive in reverse to the year i was born

1923, date escapes me
played swing with my brothers
the youngest of three
played the traps in the band, young G, ornery
dad was a preacher, sometimes he cornered me

i caught a whippin when i got outta line
but i got away with it most of the time
but like i always say, crime don't pay
sometimes the best you do is keep the wolves at bay

some days i thought about my angel and i cried
everyday i prayed to jesus up in paradise
crime dont pay, prayin paid off
imagine if you went to heaven and the gate was locked

no sir, i aint goin out like that
spirit over matter, thats a matter of fact
hell could never be made for me
so im gonna search search until i'm free

yesterdays a memory
tried to let go
good times remind me of the earth below
my kids and my kids kids continue to grow
this aint no rehearsal the show is the show
still got it
