From the recording While the Night Is Still Young
Lyrics
While The Night Is Still Young
Calman Hart & Eve Selis
Don’t let me get old while the night is still young
I got a whole lot of livin’ left before I’m done
I’ll reckon with Jesus when the morning comes
Don’t let me get old while the night is still young
You can see where I’ve been by the lines on my face
Maybe I’ve slowed down a little but I’m still in the race
When the angel comes callin’ I ain’t gonna run
Don’t let me get old while the night is still young
Whether I roll like Willie or crash like Hank
I wanna pull into heaven on an empty tank
I’ll lay down this guitar when the last song is sung
Don’t let me get old while the night is still young
I’ll pay what I owe when the last bell is rung
Just don’t let me get old while the night is still young
