My Old Man Lyrics - Rosanne Cash

(Rosanne Cash) 

The old man is laughing tonight 

He's young beyond his fears 

But then the smile drops from his eyes 

And we all wind up in tears 

The old man's crying tonight 

'Cause it all happened so fast 

He's frightened by the future 

Embarrassed by the past

So let him be who he wants to be 

'Cause he ain't ever gonna be young again 

And let him see who he needs to see 

'Cause he never had too many friends 

And ask him how he remembers me 

'Cause I want to know where I stand 

How I love my old man 

The old man's restless tonight 

Just trying to kill his pain 

He believes what he says he believes 

But that don't make him a saint 

The old man's lonesome tonight 

And he just wants to go home 

All those fools who stand in his way 

Why can't they leave him alone
