Before I'm Old

I was born at the turn of the century
Lucky to be here at all
Grew up way down in Mississippi
When I heard Robert Johnson call
I’ve seen a lot and I've done a lot
Too young to lay down in that hole
I’m just trying to fly high and not die
Before I’m old
Breaking rocks on a chain gang
Up until the sun went down
Too many souls are buried
In the dirt poor delta ground
I’ve seen a lot and I've done a lot
Just too young to lay down in that hole
I’m just trying to fly high and not die
Before I’m old
I put lightning back in bottles
Poke rattlesnakes just for fun
People say I got an old soul
And I ain’t even twenty-one
But I’ve seen a lot and I done a lot
Just ain’t ready for the hole, no I ain't
I’m just trying to fly high and not die
I’m just trying to fly high and not die
I’m just trying to fly high and not die
Before I’m old
