My Old Man

[Verse 1]

My old man

He's a singer in the park

He's a walker in the rain

He's a dancer in the dark

[Chorus]

We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

My old man keeping away my blues

[Verse 2]

He's my sunshine in the morning

He's my fireworks at the end of the day

He's the warmest chord I ever heard

Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby

[Chorus]

We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

My old man keeping away my blues

[Bridge]

But when he's gone

Me and them lonesome blues collide

The bed's too big

The frying pan's too wide

[Verse 3]

Then he comes home

And he takes me in his loving arms

And he tells me all his troubles

And he tells me all my charms

[Chorus]

We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall

Keeping us tied and true, no

My old man keeping away my blues

[Bridge]

But when he's gone

Me and them lonesome blues collide

The bed's too big

The frying pan's too wide

[Verse 1]

My old man

He's a singer in the park

He's a walker in the rain

He's a dancer in the dark

[Chorus]

We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall

Keeping us tied and true, no

My old man keeping away my lonesome blues
