lyrics

Old Man

So come and see me
Your old man
I'm an aging old dog
But i'm pushing back time
I've seen many moons
And the sun's silhouette
And i´ll tell you a story
About where i'm going next

I was once a lad
Fit as a fiddle too
Now look at me now
I'm a shadow of you

I've made some mistakes
We all make a few
You can learn from mine
And i can learn from yours too

So come and see me
Wouldn't that be nice
I'll tell you a story
All about my life

I was once a lad
Fit as a fiddle too
Now look at me now
I'm a shadow of you
So come and see me
Im may be old and blue
But i have my story
And i want to tell it to you

Cause we all get to know time
But time waits for no man
Cause we all get to know life
But life waits for no one

So listen to me son
I´ll tell you all i am
learn from my mistakes
Then go and make your own plans
Oh you come to know time
The best you can
But the days never wait
No they wait for no man

So come and see me
wouldn't that be nice
I´ll tell you a story
All about my life
