Hello Old Man Songtext
von Chris Knight

And old man, have you room for a wanderer
Runnin′ from his checkered past
No, I'm not your favorite son
I never even tied for last
You still cuss the dirt and pray for rain
Stubborn as the sun and twice as vain
Think about all you have done
Before you tell me you ain′t wandering none
Now your wayward son has come back home
Whatcha think about me while I was gone
Old man when I was on your knee
Didn't think I'd turn out and be like me
And old man, the world is strange
Cuts you up and mends you back again
You got your scars in a forgotten war
Mine I got on a barroom floor
Well, you told me tales when I was a child Lord, they made me wonder, it made me wild
I guess I had to be like you
Well, there weren′t no war but I made do
Now your wayward son has come back home
Whatcha think about me while I was gone
Old man when I was on your knee
You might′ve known I'd turn out and be like me
And old man, life rolls along
And I′m just tryin' to reap what you have sown
You never wished me well on the night I left
But in my eyes you saw yourself
Now your wayward son has come back home
Whatcha think about me while I was gone
Old man when I was on your knee
You should′ve known I'd turn out and be like me
You should′ve known I'd turn out and be like you
