Somewhere on the old Kern River,
there's an old cane pole,
that waits for me......,
patiently,

This city job might drag me down,
but one fine day I'm gonna be,
set free.......,
wait and see.
And then I'm gonna go down to where the waters touch the sky,
Where the old men's laughter goes like a lullaby.

First Chorus:
Sixty-five, C'mon sixty-five,
It's a sin to wish my life away, but I can't wait till I'm, Sixty-five, C'mon sixty-five,
There's a gold watch if I get out alive.... past sixty-five.

Now somewhere in my memories,
I recall a boy,
seventeen.......,
full of dreams'
Dreams and life just drift away a layer at a time,
And what's left......,
ain't hardly me.
All but I saved up a little here and there to get me by,

Enough to mend my ragged wings,
and once again I'll fly.
Second Chorus:
Sixty-five,
C'mon sixty-five,

It's a sin to wish my life away,
but I can't wait till I'm,
Sixty-five,
C'mon sixty-five,
There's a gold watch if I get out alive.... past sixty-five.

Lord the object of the gams is to survive.....past sixty-five.
I've heard it said that hard work never did a bodies body harm....well they were wrong,
Cause all these years of lifting things I should of left alone took their tow.......,
my will was strong,
And the day I walk out of here,
I'll hold my head up high,
Then I'll p___ this stupid watch,
and kiss thirty years good-by.
