Lyrics

Old Man

Old man look at my life

I'm a lot like you were

Old man look at my life

I'm a lot like you were

Old man look at my life

Twenty four and there's so much more

Live alone in a paradise

That makes me think of two

Love lost, such a cost

Give me things that won't get lost

Like a coin that won't get tossed

Rolling home to you

Old man take a look at my life

I'm a lot like you

I need someone to love me

The whole day through

Just one look in my eyes

And you can tell that's true

Lullabies, look in your eyes

Run around the same old town

Doesn't mean that much to me

To mean that much to you

I've been the first and last

Look at how the time goes past

But I'm all alone at last

Rolling home to you

Old man take a look at my life

I'm a lot like you

I need someone to love me

The whole day through

Just one look in my eyes

And you can tell that's true

Old man look at my life

I'm a lot like you were

Old man look at my life

I'm a lot like you were
