Talking Old Soldiers

[Verse 1]

Why hello, say, can I buy you another glass of beer?

Well, thanks a lot, that's kind of you, it's nice to know you care

These days there's so much going on

No one seems to wanna know

I may be just an old soldier to some

But I know how it feels to grow old

[Verse 2]

Yeah, that's right, you can see me here most every night

You'll always see me staring at the walls and at the lights

Funny, I remember, oh, it's years ago, I'd say

I'd stand at that bar with my friends who've passed away

And drink three times the beer that I can drink today

Yes, I know how it feels to grow old

[Bridge]

I know what they're saying, son

There goes old man Joe again

Well, I may be mad at that I've seen enough

To make a man go out his brains

Well, do they know what it's like to have a graveyard as a friend

'Cause that's where they are, boy, all of them

Don't seem likely I'll get friends like that again, yeah

[Verse 3]

Well, it's time I moved off

But it's been great just listening to you

And I might even see ya next time I'm passing through

You're right, there's so much going on

No one seems to want to know

So keep well, keep well old friend

And have another drink on me

Just ignore all the others

You got your memories

You got your memories
