The Old Man

Off he goes
 Down the road
 Who knows how many
 He's been down before.
 With all the years
 He's comes to know
 Does he wonder if he's
 Gonna see one more.
 Hanging on to yesterdays
 Til'too many tomorrow's are today
 With all the turns the road will bring
 Well, a young man's gotta wait and see.
 Will I ever be the old man
 Whose words young ones ponder on
 Will I ever take a lady's hand
 And will I ever be the old man
 Who finds that he's too far gone
 Will, there come a day when I can't stand
 Am I gonna live that long?
 Reaching out
 For days to come
 Where an old man walks
 A young man runs.
 The road I know
 Is bound to end
 Still I can't help wonderin'
 Where and when.
 Will I ever be the old man
 Whose words young ones ponder on
 Will I ever take a lady's hand
 And will I ever be the old man
 Who finds that he's too far gone
 Will there come a day when I can't stand
 Tell me am I gonna live that long?.
