Intro: I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing Young folks don't pay me no mind But in my day I sure was something Before I felt the heavy hand of time 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 I will make my way across the fields of cotton And wade through muddy waters one last time stuff happens And in my dreams I come out clean When I reach the other side West of where the sunsets, where rainbows never die Solo I've got one last thing to do One more mile before I'm through Casting off these earthly chains Going where there's no more pain Solo 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 sunsets, where rainbows never die
