Long Days

Walter Hudson's up at daylight
A habit now of sixty some odd years
There really ain't much reason
'Cause not that much needs doing around there
Forty acres on the edge of town
He paid the bank off fifteen years ago
He buried Martha last November
And for the first time Walter's startin' to feel old

(Chorus)
All those long days
Muscles strained and shoulders bent
All those long days
He thought would never end
Long days without slack
End to end and back to back
They don't add up, the answer isn't clear
How'd those long days turn into such short years

(1/2 Verse)
The old corral is falling down
He'll have to fix that up before too long
That's where old Jett threw Jimmy
And Walter had to make him crawl back on

(Bridge)
Leave those muddy boots outside the door
Or mama's gonna skin you boys alive
Walter hears those sounds from long ago
And like old friends they're welcome to drop by

(Repeat Chorus)
(Tag)
Walter Hudson's up at daylight
A habit now of sixty some odd years
