Lyrics
[verse]
Old man sitting on the porch at fall of day
Watching all the young ones drift and fade away
I see myself inside your weathered eyes
Wonder if I'll wear the same disguise
[chorus]
Old man, look at me now
I'm the one that's aging somehow
Old man, I'm just like you
Trying to find the way on through
[verse]
You worked this land for sixty crawling years
Kept your quiet council through the falling tears
I've got questions burning in my chest
Wondering if a lifetime brings you rest
[chorus]
Old man, look at me now
I'm the one that's aging somehow
Old man, I'm just like you
Trying to find the way on through
[bridge]
Give me something I can carry on
A little truth before you're gone
Not the money, not the land
Just the wisdom in your hand
[chorus]
Old man, look at me now
I'm the one that's aging somehow
Old man, I'm just like you
Trying to find the way on through
