Old Man Songtext
von ZZ Top

Old man sleepin′ the hot day away
While he dreams a thousand yesterdays
'Cause he′s had so many come his way
All he cares about
Is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow


Old man sits and thinks about his home
Doesn't matter 'cause he′s all alone
What he′d give to get back on his own
Curses his body 'cause it′s old
And it gives no transportation
He sits in his one-room shack alone
But it provides no consolation

What a shame, his time is nearin'
His eyes won′t let him see
The skies are clearin'
Someone tells him without his hearin′
It's no news to those who've been around
While things are changin′
Oh no
