Real full of the wine
And everything's fine, everything's beautiful, everything′s great
I just feel so good y′know, I'm 70 years old
And I′m sippin' everything through a straw

Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that
