On a boat in the sea of the North Country
You steer with the hands of an old ass man 
You curse and groan, spit and moan
Backs hurting you again. God damn 
And you stare out the glass of a great tin can 
With the smell of sea and the sweat of man
Breath in deep, the kelp and heat
Longing for the land 

I'll pay the price of getting old
If I can get old all next to you 

Rye whiskey in the palm of your hand
Your the simpleness of an honest man
Black and white, like day and night
Keeping me between two lines
With a man at sea, I can still be me 
Still love you when the day is through 
That distance be no thing for me 
I'll see you when you're through 

I'll pay the price of getting old 
If I can get old all next to you 
Next to you
I pay the price of getting old 

When the work is done and the days get cold
You come on down to the land you own 
You curse and moan, spit and groan
With a smile just the same 
You build me a home in the countryside 
Fruit trees and creeks by a mountainside 
A tiny space with room to roam and ramble out the days 

I'll pay the price of getting old 
If I can get old all next to you 
Next to you 
I pay the price of getting old 

And I'll plant you a garden in the summertime 
While you're far away setting those lines 
I'll boil it down, jar it up, store it just for you, I do 
And I'll give you a bit of that summer shine 
A peach in a a jar mid wintertime 
That sweetness be my love for you 
Preserved for all you do 

I'll pay the price of getting old 
If I can get old all next to you 
Next to you 
I pay the price of getting old 

As your big strong hands grow old and old  
May they never lose their will to hold
Me all night with all their might
I'm trusting you to know 

I'll pay this price of getting old
As if I had a choice or two 
And when the sun sets on the cottonwood and the alderwood 
I'll buck and limb those things for you
