Bad Hip Lyrics

Didn't think I'd see you again

Time has made you look like a man

Now you see you look a bit like me

Restless eyes, empty hands

Don't want to hear about your troubles

Some things are better off unsaid

Let's just dance around the landmines

Let's not talk about the mess I made

Son, the world don't owe you anything

You can't just be another mouth to feed

I've got a bad hip

Creaky old knee

Wonder when the Lord's Gonna come for me

You ever gonna call me

When you leave today

Let me take your picture

Before you go away

You know I like my coffee sweet

You know I like my sugar tea

Everything that I love, my son

Everything slowly killing me

At night I drive down to the liquor store

Sometimes I gotta walk back home

Lose my pain in the parking lot

I do just fine living on my own

They say the way I live

Will be the end of me

That can't come a day too soon

I've got a bad hip

Creaky old knee

Wonder when the Lord's Gonna come for me

You ever gonna call me

When you leave today

Let me take your picture

Before you go away

I've been waiting all my life

Hope to hell I get there soon

I'm so tired of just hanging around

Here in this so-called living room

Time to pull down the shade

Let the light fade away

One last sip, and then I'll go home

You know I gotta find that missing ace

Your mama never her raised her voice in anger

She's waiting there for me on the other side

I've got a bad hip

Creaky old knee

Wonder when the Lord's Gonna come for me

You ever gonna call me

When you leave today

Let me take your picture

Before you go away
