Old Man lyrics

Old man sleeping the hot day away

While he dreams about some yesterday

Because he's had so many come his way

All he cares about is somewhere

To lay his head tomorrow

Old man sits and thinks about his home

Doesn't matter cause he's all alone

What he'd give to get back on his own

Cursed his body because it's old

And it gives no transportation

He sits in his one room shack

Alone, but it provides no consolation

What a shame, his time is nearing

His eyes won't let him

See the skies are clearing

Someone tells him without his hearing

It's no news to those who've been around

While things are changing, no, no
