[Verse 1]
Red dust on my boots
Sun stuck high like a bloody coin
Knees ache
Back cracks
Every step
Something joins
The choir of old bones
Singing
“Mate
You’re done”
But these hands still remember
What they’ve always done
[Chorus]
I’m too old to fight
Too slow to run
But I can still shoot
And I still don’t miss
Son
You can take my teeth
Take my time in the sun
I’m too old to fight
Too slow to run
But I can still shoot
Yeah
I still got one
[Verse 2]
Kangaroo tracks
Cross the rusted gate
Ute in the driveway
Two hours late
Lads with fresh ink
Think they’re made of steel
Till they see one steady finger
And a heart that’s real
[Chorus]
I’m too old to fight
Too slow to run
But I can still shoot
And I still don’t miss
Son
You can take my teeth
Take my time in the sun
I’m too old to fight
Too slow to run
But I can still shoot
Yeah
I still got one
[Bridge]
Used to swing first
Never back down (oh yeah)
Now I just lean
Let the dust settle on this town
You don’t scare easy
When you’ve outlived fear
You just sight the truth
And keep your target clear
[Chorus]
I’m too old to fight
Too slow to run
But I can still shoot
And I still don’t miss
Son
You can take my teeth
Take my time in the sun
I’m too old to fight
Too slow to run
But I can still shoot
Yeah
I still got one
(I still got one) |
