When My Hair Was Long

I got struck by lightning in my bones
Went speeding through my body lookin' for a place to go
Shot out through my fingers and my toes
Now where it's gone nobody knows

Sittin' around listenin' to country songs
Wondering why I haven't been on a horse in so long
Go back a century hitch my horse up to a post
Say goodbye to cars and the dead things on the side of the road
Ah when I grow old will you sit beside me and I'll play some songs
About the good days when I felt such loss
When my hair was long and my stride was strong

I like dancin' to songs from the early 90's
Or anything with four on the floor
When you stop by on your way back from Kenya
We can bust out wonder and kick down the door
Remember those times we fought like elk in rut
Remember those times when you stole the breath from my gut
Remember how hard we loved and how hard we hurt
It's been 4 years I'm still sleeping in your shirt

Ah when I grow old will you sit beside me and I'll play some songs
About the good days when I felt such loss
When my hair was long and my stride was strong
