Drinking ripple on a Sunday afternoon
We’re shaving that old dog and callin’ some tunes
Looks like them good old days don’t go gently into that good night
Still we do what we can to try to keep up the good fight
But the juice is runnin' low, we’re in the reserves
And time’s out on the other side, steeling his nerves
So I say, “come on honey let’s ride, there’s a depot just over the line”
Yeah, we gotta keep this castle rockin’ like we did back in ‘99
So sit tight and hold on, and wait around
For the reinforcements to come along
Gonna keep this old fort rockin’ till the cavalry comes
We ain’t slowin' down, yeah we hardly begun
So stow them blues and try to have a little fun
And keep on gunnin’, ‘cause the cavalry is comin’
You hear that shotgun crack and we’re back on the run
It seems like always somethin’ tapped out, the gas or the funds
And we’re burnin’ the fumes just tryin’ to make it back to the fight
Yeah we do what we can, and sometimes it comes out right
Gonna keep this old fort rockin’ till the cavalry comes
We ain’t slowin’ down, yeah we hardly begun
So stow them blues and try to have a little fun
And keep on runnin’…
So load up the last round and rally the crew
And quit all that talk about the good times we knew
‘Cause just when you think the last few are down or fallin’
You hear that bugle callin’
Well the battle is lost but this war ain’t over yet
Fortune and glory, and should we forget
All the good times we lost, we still fire one off from time to time
Yeah it’s the most we can do to try to keep up with this life
And when it’s winding down, that’s when you got to
That’s when you got to sing it loud
Gonna keep this old fort rockin’ till the cavalry comes
We ain’t slowin’ down, yeah we hardly begun
So stow them blues and try to have a little fun
And keep on gunnin’, ‘cause the cavalry is comin’
