Senior Citizen Star Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

On the floor of the limo there's a bottle of whiskey 

A white Stetson hat with a fine feather band 

His face covered up with the two day old paper 

He's a songwriter legend that grey haired old man 

They don't say much to him he don't say much to them 

They wonder what goes on inside his old head 

Sometimes when they shake him tryin' to wake him 

He comes round so slowly they think that he's dead 

And you're not allowed to talk about Denver Colorado 

You're not allowed to talk about his first wife Joanne 

You're not allowed to talk about his first fiddle player 

Or anybody who ever worked in Elvis's band 

He motions the driver to get him some coffee 

He sits there and sips it his eyes on the floor 

When he's readin' his paper he sometimes looks angry 

He's still tryin' to figure out the Second World War 

He mentions Chicago the Opry and Wheeling 

His awards are all stacked in the box in his barn 

He made millions of dollars with a hoop and a holler 

Now he lives in a trailer on a five acre farm 

And you're not allowed to talk about... 

As the limo rolls on down the America's highways 

Just frames to the sign on the side of his car 

It says pickin' and singin' for any occasion the songwrittin' senior citizen star
