Old Age and Treachery Songtext
von Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson

Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill
Ain′t too much that we won't do
What Waylon won′t, Willie will

And even though we've 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 don′t know 'bout you, Willie will
I can still jump as high
I just can′t stay that high that long

Even though we've 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 heifer down and have a ball"
Let′s make her squall
Old bull says, "Young bull
Let's just ease on down and love 'em all"

Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill
Ain′t too much that we won′t do
What Waylon won't, a-Willie will

And even though we have spent our lives
Chargin′ up the wrong side of the hill
Old age and treachery
Always overcomes youth and skill

Rosie loves the racquetball
She won't do it, but her sister will
Damn, what′d you say that for?
Ain't got a thing to do with this
I know what you′re tryin' to do
You're tryin′ to get half a song
Ok, we′ll put your name on it
You got nothin' to do on this

Rosie loves the racquetball
She won′t do it, but her sister will
