Long in the Tooth - Billy Joe Shaver

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

Tryna tell ya I’m long in the tooth

Well, you still do all night what

It takes all night to do But the whipping folk don’t complain

Cause they still have the younger man’s brain

I still do more than most men do

I’m telling you winners I’m long in the tooth

Long in the tooth

Long in the tooth

I’m telling you folks I’m long in the tooth

I used to go barehunh with a switch

Sleep all week while staying a-witch

I put that grip lil ova my knee

And I’m not the man I used to be Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you telling I’m long in the tooth

I had an alligator kiss my ass

It’s mostly luck he’s runnin' that fast

Show not behaving a tooth

I’m on an alligator I eat an alligator

Yes you

Long in the tooth

Long in the tooth

I’m telling you children I’m long in the tooth

Throwin' that football across the mall

We’ve all led it with a certified smile

I used to be so wild and free

Sometimes I wonder what happened to me

(Interlude)

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you children I’m long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you woman I’m long in the tooth

(Instrumental break)

Time did a number on me, I ain’t the man I used to be Running at speed but I’m little at motion

Live up to all them stories been told

(Interlude x2)

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you children I’m long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you woman I’m long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you children I’m long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

I’m telling you folk I’m long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth
