Got up in the mornin',
Got out the door.
Met a fella on the way,
He said, "Hey fella, holdin' on to your way too long."
Got to be an old goat.
(Chorus)
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna sleep in the sun?
Eat whatever, have some fun?
(Verse 2)
Went in to the office,
Got all the dirt.
Saw a fella gettin' fired,
He must have been an old goat gettin' hurt.
Gotta be an old goat.
(Chorus)
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna sleep in the sun?
Eat whatever, have some fun?
(Verse 3)
Went to the grocery,
Saw the price of meat.
Put it back, got some beans.
I guess that makes me a goat.
Gotta be an old goat.
(Chorus)
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna sleep in the sun?
Eat whatever, have some fun?
(Verse 4)
Went down to the liquor store,
Grabbed a bottle of wine.
Got back home, sat on the couch,
And started singing this song about bein' an old goat.
Gotta be an old goat.
(Chorus)
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna be an old goat?
Don't ya wanna sleep in the sun?
Eat whatever, have some fun?
