The Old Man - Clint Black

Off he goes

Down the road

Who knows how many

He’s been down before

With all the years

He’s comes to know

Does he wonder if he’s

Gonna see one more

Hanging on to yesterdays

Til’too many tomorrow’s are today

With all the turns the road will bring

Well, a young man’s gotta wait and see

Will I ever be the old man

Whose words young ones ponder on

Will I ever take a lady’s hand

And will I ever be the old man

Who finds that he’s too far gone

Will, there come a day when I can’t stand

Am I gonna live that long?

Reaching out

For days to come

Where an old man walks

A young man runs

The road I know

Is bound to end

Still I can’t help wonderin'

Where and when

Will I ever be the old man

Whose words young ones ponder on

Will I ever take a lady’s hand

And will I ever be the old man

Who finds that he’s too far gone

Will there come a day when I can’t stand

Tell me am I gonna live that long?..
