Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm an old man now, I can't do nothin'
Young folks don't pay me no mind
But in my day I sure was somethin'
Before I felt the heavy hand of time
[Verse 2]
I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory
Time to lay these burdens down
Had enough of this old world of worry
Gonna trade my troubles for a crown
[Chorus]
I will make my way across the fields of cotton
And wade through muddy waters one last time
And in my dreams I come out clean
When I reach the other side, west of where the sun sets
Where rainbows never die
[Bridge]
I've got one last thing to do
One more mile before I'm through
Castin' off these earthly chains
Goin' where there's no more pain
[Chorus]
I will make my way across the fields of cotton
And wade through muddy waters one last time
And in my dreams I come out clean
When I reach the other side, west of where the sun sets
Where rainbows never die
[Outro]
I'm an old man now, I can't do nothin'
Young folks don't pay me no mind
