Drive a great big truck
A G6 Bm Dm
When I'm old, when I'm old
A G6 Bm Dm
Haul the wrecks down to the wreck yard

Help the boys unload
A G6 Bm Dm
Keep my hair nice and long
A G6 Bm Dm
Because I can, because I can
A G6 Bm Dm
Any of my old friends who have no place to turn to

Stand with a bullwhip in my hand

And rise, and rise
Riff
In the desert sand

Work days, work nights
Finally get laid off
By a piece of broken glass 
On the floor of the shop
And the doctor recognizes me
As the operating theater goes dim
Aren't you that old wrestler with the bullwhip?
Yes sir, that's me, I'm him

Get around fine on one leg
Lose a kidney, then go blind
Sit on my porch in Houston
Let the good times dance across my mind
Never die, never die
Stand with a bullwhip in my hand
And rise, and rise
Surrounded by friends
