"Rockin' Years" is a song written by Floyd Parton and released as a single in 1991 by American country music artists Dolly Parton and Ricky Van Shelton. Serving as the lead-off single to both Parton's 1991 album "Eagle When She Flies" and Shelton's 1991 album "Backroads", the song reached the top of the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart, giving Parton her twenty-third number one and Shelton his eighth.

The song is a mid-tempo country waltz in which the female narrator promise to love each other until their "rockin' years"; i.e., when they are old and sitting in rocking chairs together.
