chorus...	I don't need your rockin' chair,  
                                        G 
		Your Geritol or your Medicare 
                                             D 
		Well I still got Neon in my veins 
                                             G 
		This grey hair don't mean a thing 
                                        C 
		I do my rockin' on the stage 
                                               G 
		You can't put this possum in a cage

I ain't ready for the junkyard yet 
                                G 
Cause I still feel like a new corvette 
                                            D   
It might take a little longer but I'll get there

Well I don't need your rockin' chair 
 
 
 
chorus......

Retirement don't fit in my plans 
You can keep your seat I'm a gonna stand 
An Eskimo needs a Fridgedaire 
Like I need your rockin' chair 
 
 
chorus..... 
 
My body's old but it ain't impaired 
Well I don't need your rockin' chair
