This is a shout out to old men and their spouses who love them. 

As I wrote it I heard a country string band. So, it’s a song that I just haven’t put music to yet.

A lady friend said I walk like bigfoot
All hunched over with a floppy gut
Maybe I am marching through the trees
Flexin’ and testin’ these mossy knees

‘Cause
It takes a little bit to get my git-a-long gettin’
It takes quite a while to walk a mile
But for my age I can still do what’s fittin’
Let’s just call it my new walkin’ style

Now my legs are more than a little bowed
I’ve been a long time on this livin’ road
But I’ll take two ibu if the situation begs
And make some miles with a smile on these legs

Yet,
It takes a little bit to get my git-a-long gettin’
It takes quite a while to walk a mile
But for my age I can still do what’s fittin’
Let’s just call it my new walkin’ style

My wife says I walk a lot like Chester
Hitch in my gait like the Gunsmoke jester
Hey, how ’bout some understanding, please
Time’s not been kind to these gnarly knees

Y’know
It takes a little bit to get my git-a-long gettin’
It takes quite a while to walk a mile
But for my age I can still do what’s fittin’
Let’s just call it my new walkin’ style
