"Old Man"

Old man, look at my life

I'm a lot like you were

Old man, look at my life

I'm a lot like you were

Old man, look at my life

24 and there's so much more

Live alone in a paradise

That makes me think of two

Love lost, such a cost

Give me things that don't get lost

Like a coin that won't get tossed

Rolling home to you

Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you

I need someone to love me the whole day through

Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

Lullabies, look in your eyes

Run around the same old town

Doesn't mean that much to me

To mean that much to you

I've been first and last

Look at how the time goes past

But I'm all alone at last

Rolling home to you

Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you

I need someone to love me the whole day through

Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

Old man, look at my life

I'm a lot like you were

Old man, look at my life

I'm a lot like you were
