Golden Memories

I've got golden memories
I've got silver threads a-windin' through my hair
Oh baby, but I got good times enough to share

I ain't young, but I ain't old
I will keep you warm tonight against the cold
Oh baby, don't that bitter wind, honey don't she blow

Oh but I know, old Father Time, he got a mean side on him
He gonna make me drink that wine
He gonna steal my life, he'll do it in time
You can't beat the devil, but you can rob that sucker blind

Oh my daddy was a gypsy
My mama was a honky tonker's dream
But me, I just showed up to spoil their scene
Yeah I did

Well I drink corn liquor from a paper sack
I've had so much to smoke my lungs are black
Oh baby don't that bitter wind, honey don't she blow

Oh but I know, old Father Time, he got a mean side on him
He gonna make me drink that wine
He gonna steal my life, he'll do it in time
You can't beat the devil, but you can rob that sucker blind

We get older, we get better
Like a fine old Beaujolais
We get older, we get better, everyday

I've got golden (golden) memories (memories)
I've got silver threads a-windin' through my hair
Oh baby, but I got good times enough to share
Oh baby, but I got good times enough to share
