1. Too young to be the president, too old to turn pro
2. While some folks kept from goin� he kept some folks alive
3. He worked it half his life, he worked it everyday

1. But when the 70�s came and Elvis died
2. A purple heart sits on his shelf that he never wears
3. He burned his field, his crops, and the barn before they came

1. I could not fill his shoes but oh, how I tried
2. A broken one sits in his chest for what he lost there
