lirik lagu old timer – waylon jennings
verse 1:
d a
i grew up in wyoming
d
in and around jackson’s hole
a
in the shadows of the tetons
where summers are hot
d
and winters unbearably cold
g
but the spring and the fall
d
are always as good as it gets
a
for over 70 years now
d
i’d watch the sun rise and set
verse 2:
a
i’ve been a cowboy
d
working the round-ups in spring
a
i’ve lived in the mountains
hunted the grizzly
d
trapping the rivers and streams
g
always the loner
d
i’ve treasured my freedom the most
a
and though i never married
d
as a young man i might have come close
verse 3:
g
from somewhere back east
she came to the valley
d
with a man who did her no good
g
he was fast with the ladies
a tin h-rn gambler
d
and a cheat whenever he could
g
she had no friends or family
d
most of the time he was gone
a
he died in a card game
d
and she found herself all alone
verse 4:
g
alone and afraid and left unprotected
d
’cause he was all that she had
g
maybe i should have
but i never told her
d
so she never knew he was bad
g
but i’ll always remember
d
standing and watching her cry
a
there was no one to help her
d
but i was determined to try
verse 5:
a
i mended her fences and
fixed up her cabin
d
i had everything looking good
a
i laid by her food
and wood for the winter
d
helping wherever i could
g
the more i was around her
d
the more i wanted to be
a
there was something about her
d
that brought out a good side of me
verse 6:
g
i went into town,i brought a new outfit
d
i got me a haircut and shave
g
i’d trek through the snow
for no good reason
d
just to go by her cabin each day
g
i don’t know about love
d
but i was quite taken in by it all
a
till her brother came in the spring
d
and he took her back to st. paul
verse 7:
a
i don’t go down to jackson
d
ain’t nothing there but motels and bars
a
too d-mn many tourists
no place to hide
d
they’ll find you wherever you are
g
they like to call me old timer
d
i am getting older i guess
a
but i don’t like the changes
d
’cause i’ve seen it all at its best
verse 8:
a
when my life is over
d
i don’t want to be left in town
a
but up in the mountains
there is a place
d
i’ve marked off my own piece of ground
g
high in the tetons
d
above and away from it all
a
from the top of old grand
i bet on a clear day – you can see
d
all the way to st. paul
