Old Ties and Companions

Old man give me endless time
 Never let these ties sever
 It's breaking bottles in the yard
 Never still my mind again
 Mmm
 Like old ties and companions
 Just sittin' on the fence
 The tunes we've carried through the years will change
 And man, that's just enough
 To keep these ghosts around those haunted fields
 Mmm
 Like old ties and companions
 You and I, we're just passing through
 ♪
 It's a hundred thousand miles of lonely track
 Holding back tomorrow
 Someday I'll hop along and ride it home
 But old ties and companions
 We never leave alone
 So old man give me endless time, never let these ties sever
 'Cause heaven knows and all this fooling around
 These times won't last forever, after all
