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 |
