Hello Old Man |
| Hello old man, have you room for a wanderer |
| Running from his checkered past |
| No I’m not your favorite son |
| I never even tied for last |
| Do you still cuss the dirt and pray for rain |
| Stubborn as the sun and twice as vain |
| Think about all you have done |
| Before you tell me you ain’t wandered none |
| Now your wayward son has come back home |
| What’d you think about me while I was gone |
| Old man when I was on your knee |
| Didn’t you think I’d turn out to be like me |
| Hello old man, the world is strange |
| Cuts you up and mends you back again |
| You got your scars in a forgotten war |
| Mine I got on bar room floors |
| Well you told me tales when I was a child |
| Lord they made me wonder and made me wild |
| I guess I had to be like you |
| There weren’t no war but I made do |
| Hello old man life rolls along |
| I’m just trying to reap what you have sown |
| You never wished me well on the night I left |
| But in my eyes you saw yourself |
| You should have known I’d turn out to be like you |
