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 want to know
|
I may be just an old soldier to some
|
But I know how it feels to grow old
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
Well it's time I moved off
|
But it's been great just listening to you
|
And I might even see you 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
|
