Lyrics
Somebody Else's Tree
Young man he's gonna hurt himself
Young man he's not what he used to be
Seeet thang don't even know he's breathing
Go easy cause he's got seniority
(Verse 1)
There was a time when he could do it all
Back when his waist was 33
He made women turn their heads
Some even gave him their key
(Verse 2)
Lotta water flowed under his saggy bridge
He needs a demolition crew
Even now he ain't admitting
Can't do what I used to do
(Chorus)
Old man you're gonna hurt yourself
Old man you're not what you used to be
That sweet thang don't even know you're breathing
You're barking up somebody else's tree
(Verse 3)
He thinks that he looks the same
As he did in'83
Young women look straight through him
That's old man transparency
(Verse 4)
If he had 10 million dollars
They'd probably think differently
But let's be realistic
He can't deal with reality
(Chorus)
Old man you're gonna hurt yourself
Old man you're not what you used to be
That sweet thang don't even know you're breathing
You're barking up somebody else's tree
(Bridge)
You can't compete with a 22
You done lost your bugaloo
Ain't no pill that's ever gonna bring it back
Just take this little tip
Don't fall and break a hip
You're gonna need your sacroiliac
(Chorus)
Old man you're gonna hurt yourself
Old man you're not what you used to be
That sweet thang don't even know you're breathing
You're barking up somebody else's tree
(Conclusion)
Just between you and me
Anyone can plainly see
You need to go and find yourself another tree
