I've met the Master on my knees
Been tested, yes and tried
I've seen the God of heaven paint
The fields and country side
I've been the husband of one wife
Heard my newborn baby cry
But when I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die
Old enough to die

I'm just a plain hard working man
No stopping place have I found
And though I'm tired I'm still inspired
At night when I lie down
I've learned to like it on God's green earth
And yet I wonder why
Cause when I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die
Old enough to die
