[00:07.09]
[00:13.91]hands like leather
[00:15.60]from working in the weather on the family farm
[00:20.58]though I was still young
[00:22.07]when we moved into the city where the factories are
[00:27.16]it was years later when the radio playing
[00:30.54]said the war had been won
[00:33.88]and we were going home
[00:37.11]I was the lucky one
[00:39.60]
[00:41.19]walking into the middle of a mystery
[00:47.81]though I don't know if I'm ever going to get to see
[00:53.58]my century, my century
[01:06.13]
[01:08.46]well I seen it all
[01:09.76]before planes and malls
[01:11.90]use to send letters, now the telephone calls
[01:15.23]the carriage and cart, to the freeways and cars
[01:18.72]even done better, sent a man to the stars
[01:21.75]and we keep moving on
[01:24.99]what are we running from?
[01:27.33]
[01:28.92]walking to the middle of a mystery
[01:35.24]though I don't know if I'm ever going to get to see
[01:41.31]my century, my century
[01:52.21]
[01:56.14]if you find a lover, then treat her like no other till the day that you die
[02:02.56]and when you get to my age
[02:04.50]I hope the lines on your face are something you wouldn't hide
[02:09.68]but these days you got no patience to wait
[02:12.71]so busy tryin' to get old
[02:16.44]and I wonder what for
[02:19.98]I wonder what for
[02:21.87]
[02:57.04]can't see the skin for the bones
[02:58.69]not many people I know live to a hundred years old
[03:04.36]my friends have moved on, all my sisters are gone and I'm ready to go
[03:10.73]and when my funeral comes, can you bring your guitar
[03:13.96]and play my favorite songs
[03:17.75]play my favorite songs
[03:22.32]
[03:24.56]and then he walked out into the middle of the mystery
[03:31.73]talking about going home
[03:38.30]and I don't know if I'm ever going to get to see
[03:47.65]my century
