Bag of Bones

He said his hip talks to him when it's ready to rain

He's had a little nip and he's feelin' no pain

When he gets like this he feels like talkin'

He said he took some shrapnel at the Bay of Pigs

He lost two fingers on a gulf oil rig

Oh, you gotta watch him he'll take off walkin'

Some folks say he's lost his mind, but he's just runnin' out of time

He said this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me

There's a lot more standin' here than what you see

He said my back is bendin' low but my spirit's flyin' free

This ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me

He said I live each day like its my last

Time won't keep it goes so fast

You better do the best you can do

He said life's a tune you whistle in the dark

When you get it right you get a little spark

And the sun comes up and it all dawns on you

He said this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me

There's a lot more standin' here than what you see

He said my back is bendin' low but my spirit's flyin' free

This ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me

My back is bendin' low but my spirit's flyin' free

Well this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me

Ah, this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me
