Old Man Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] George Peters hit fifty-five Still grinning like he’s thirty-five Back when moonshine got him mean Wild Turkey and a shirtless scene He’d laugh too loud, talk too fast Paint the driveway with his past Folks said, “George, you’re a loaded gun” He’d just wink and call it fun [Pre-Chorus] But time came knocking on his door Now he’s chasing gears and chores Got a truck and a learner’s grin And Becca says, “Baby, slow it in” [Chorus] Old man now Old man now George Peters, old man now He ain’t wild like he used to be He’s got three kids and a wife named Becca Old man now Old man now Old man now, take a bow [Verse 2] Katrina, Nick, and Bree All got dad’s old look and heat But now he’s coachin’ from the porch Not exactly the town’s old torch He used to pick a fight with fate Now he’s early when it’s late Moore hill militia on his cap Learnin’ truckin’ like a map [Pre-Chorus] Used to stir that county up Now he drinks from one small cup Used to dance like trouble’s saint Now he stretches up his back and waits [Chorus] Old man now Old man now George Peters, old man now He ain’t wild like he used to be He’s got three kids and a wife named Becca Old man now Old man now Old man now, take a bow [Bridge] He says, “I miss that crazy man Shirt off, hollerin’ with the band” Becca laughs, “You still got charm Just keep your shoes and your shirt on, hon” He’s still George, just a newer style A little less blaze, a little more smile And if he slips, the whole town knows Old men fall, but old George rolls [Chorus] Old man now Old man now George Peters, old man now He ain’t wild like he used to be He’s got three kids and a wife named Becca Old man now Old man now Old man now, take a bow [Outro] From moonshine mess to truck-stop pride He traded trouble for a family ride Still the same old spark somehow Just an old man now
