I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair Songtext
von George Jones

I don′t need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your medicare
But I still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don′t mean a thing

I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body′s old, but it ain′t impaired
I don't need your rockin′ chair

I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
′Cause I still feel like a new corvette
It might take a little longer, but I'll get there
Well, I don′t need your rockin' chair

I don't need your rockin′ chair
Your Geritol or your medicare
I′ve still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don't mean a thing


I do my rockin′ on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body′s old, but it ain't impaired
Well, I don′t need this rockin' chair

Retirement don't fit in my plans
You can keep your seat, I′m gonna stand
An Eskimo needs a Fridgedaire
Like I need your rockin′ chair

I don't need your rockin′ chair (he don't need your rockin′ chair)
Your Geritol or your medicare (Geritol or your medicare)
I've still got neon in my veins (still got neon in his veins)
This gray hair don′t mean a thing (his gray hair don't mean a thing)

I do my rockin' on the stage (does his rockin′ on the stage)
You can′t put this possum in a cage (can't put this possum in the cage)
Yeah, my body′s old, but it ain't impaired (yeah, you know it ain′t impaired)
Well, I don't need your rockin′ chair (he don't need no rockin' chair)
My body′s old, but it ain′t impaired (yeah, we all know you ain't impaired)
I don′t need your walking chair

Uh-huh
