Younger by the Rye

Well I’m coming back to Fort Worth, Shiner in my blood

And I’m ridin through the midnight hour in a Jacksboro flood

And I won’t stop for Gamblin’ hell I’ve lost too many Farms

And my women done and fell from me in a richer man’s arms

My God x2

Well someone stole my candles and burned them at both ends

I can't afford to pay attention drank away my drinkin’ friends

And I’m hunting down the coyote that howls outside this dive

And I shot out the moon last night with my last 45

My God x2

Well my mamma was a pistol I’m a son of a gun

My daddy was a yankee and he lived on the run

I was born in a cane field I was raised to blame

Hell I thought I told you boys I’m goin’ insane

My God x2

So I keep on getting old and younger by the rye

I can’t take it easy anymore, not a easy going guy

And when my livings all over with no fate left to save

Take bluebonnets, pain, and anger and place them on my grave

My god x2

Well I’m coming back to Fort Worth Shiner in my blood

And I’m ridin through the midnight hour in a Jacksboro flood

And I won’t stop for Gamblin hell I’ve lost to many Farms

And my women done and fell from me in a richer man’s arms
