Long in the Tooth Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

Long in the tooth, long in the tooth
I′m telling you children I'm long in the tooth
What I used to do all night, it takes all night to do
But the women folk don′t complain
'Cause I still got a young man's brain
I still do more than most men do
I′m telling you women, 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 bear huntin' with a switch
Sleep all week with the same old witch
I put that grisly over my knee
But 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 lucky he's runnin′ that fast
Showed him a thing or two
I′m wearin alligator vest, eatin' alligator stew


Long in the tooth, long in the tooth
I′m telling you children, I'm long in the tooth
I could throw that football a country mile
Leave all the women with a satisfied smile
I used to be so wild and free
Sometimes I wonder what happened to me

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

Time did a number on me
I ain't the man I used to be
Running at speed but I′m better than most
Live up to all them stories been told

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 folks, 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
