Am Bm
Hey I like to do a little rockin'
Am Bm
Ray, I get a little rowdy myself
Am Bm
See if you can sing the high part brother
Am Bm
Hank I can if you give me some help
Am Bm
'Cause we're the kind if we set our minds
Am Bm Bm C Dm Em
We're going to do it or bust
Em Dm Am Bm
Hey we ain't half bad for two old cats like us
Am Bm
There ain't nothin' like honky tonk music (now)
Am Bm
When you get an itching to play
Am Bm
And singing those songs like Hey Good Lookin'
Am Bm
And baby tell me what I say (that'll work)
Am Bm
We can take it to the limit
Am Bm Bm C Dm Em
Or take it back to the bus
Em Dm
Ain't no problem for two old cats like us
Am Bm
We've been down a whole lot of alleys
Am Bm
Shook a whole lot of cans
Am Bm
Ain't too much about prowlin' or howlin'
Am Bm
That we don't understand
Am Bm
Had a few doors slammed on our tails
Am Bm
We've been kissed and cussed
Am Bm
But everything's cool for two old cats like us
Am Bm
Play a little
Am Bm
Now this younger generation Ray
Am Bm
Is keeping us on our toes
Am Bm
Playing everything from western swing
Am Bm
To that good ol' rock and roll
Am Bm
And here we are smacked down in the middle
Am Bm Bm C Dm Em
But I think we can adjust
Em Dm
Hell there ain't nothing new for two old cats like us
(tell the truth now)
Am Bm
We've been down a whole lot of alleys

There ain't too much about prowlin' or howlin'
