Golden Memories Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I've got golden memories 

I've got silver threads a-windin' through my hair 

Oh baby, but I got good times enough to share 

I ain't young, but I ain't old 

I will keep you warm tonight against the cold 

Oh baby, don't that bitter wind, honey don't she blow 

Oh but I know, old Father Time, he got a mean side of him 

He gonna make me drink that wine 

He gonna steal my life, he'll do it in time 

You can't beat the devil, but you can rob that sucker blind 

Oh my daddy, was a gypsy 

My mama was a honky tonker's dream 

But me, I just showed up to spoil their scene 

Yeah I did 

Well I drink corn liquor from a paper sack 

I've had so much to smoke my lungs are black 

Oh baby don't that bitter wind, honey don't she blow 

Oh but I know, old Father Time, he got a mean side of him 

He gonna make me drink that wine 

He gonna steal my life, he'll do it in time 

You can't beat the devil, but you can rob that sucker blind 

We get older, we get better 

Like a fine old Beaujolais 

We get older, we get better, everyday 

I've got golden (golden) memories (memories) 

I've got silver threads a-windin' through my hair 

Oh baby, but I got good times enough to share 

Oh baby, but I got good times enough to share
