The Old Man Lyrics - Black Clint

Off he goes down the road 

Who knows how many he's been down before 

With all the years he's come to know 

Does he wonder if he's gonna see one more 

Hanging on to yesterdays 

Till too many tomorrows are today 

With all the turns the road will bring 

Well, a young man's gotta wait and see 

And 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 finally is 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 wondering where and when 

And 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 finally is too far gone? 

Will there come a day when I can't stand 

Tell me, am I gonna live that long?
