Waylon Jennings Old Age and Treachery Lyrics

Old Age and Treachery--performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson
INTRO: A
CHORUS:
Old age and treachery always overcomes youth and skill
Aint too much that we won't do, what Waylon won't Willie will
And even though we spent our lives chargin' up the wrong side of the hill
Old age and treachery always overcomes youth and skill
Some people say that our get up and go's got up and gone
I can still jump as high I just can't stay that high that long
Even though we spent our lives chargin' up the wrong side of the hill
Old age and treachery always overcomes youth and skill
Young bull says old bull let's run that heffer down and have a ball, let's make her squawl
Old bull says young bull let's just ease on down and love 'em all
(Willie):
Rosey loves her raquetball, she won't do it but her sister will
(Waylon):
Damn, what you say that for, that ain't got a thing to do with this--
I know what you're tryin' to do, you're tryin' to get half the song
Ok, we'll put your name on it, but you didn't really do nothin'
That ain't got nothin' to do with--"Rosey likes her raquetball
She won't do it but her sister will"
