Old Man lyrics

Song information

Artist: Zz Top
Album: One Foot In The Blues

Lyrics

Words and music by billy gibbons, dusty hill, frank beard

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'
