[00:00:00] Buying a Book - Joe Tex

[00:00:04] I saw this old man with this young girl the other night

[00:00:08] I walked over to him and pulled him off on the side

[00:00:10] And I said pops what are you trying to prove

[00:00:14] I said I've seen you out here every night this week

[00:00:16] With a different young girl wrapped around your arm

[00:00:18] I said you can't keep this pace up uh

[00:00:21] Because these young girls

[00:00:23] Huh oh they'll certainly get you down

[00:00:26] He said son sit down here

[00:00:28] Lemme tell ya something

[00:00:29] He said all my life I've worked hard huh

[00:00:32] And I've saved up me a little money

[00:00:34] He said but just about the time I got me a nest egg saved

[00:00:38] I became a widow man

[00:00:39] He says and I'm 72 going on 73 years old

[00:00:42] And don't have too many more years to live

[00:00:44] Hah he said I know that I should be ashamed of myself

[00:00:48] Ha but he said

[00:00:49] Young girls is my weakness

[00:00:51] Oh yes they are huh
