Old Man Lyrics - Singles - Slaughter

(Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum) 

Wanna tell ya a story that happened to me 

There was this old man started chattin' with me 

He sat by himself on the side of the road 

A cowboy hat and them pointed toes 

He said, hey son what do ya do 

Ya better pay attention when I'm talkin' to you 

I've been around here for a long, long time 

Could have bought this land for damn near a dime 

(Right over there past that gas station over there, see it) 

So I headed on over, leaned against his truck 

And ya better hear me out or you're shit outta luck 

I've been through times that you wouldn't believe 

It makes a man feel about a hundred and three 

Again he asked, what do ya do 

I can't imagine by lookin' at you 

Boy, things have changed since way back when 

I wish that I was back in my teens again 

I said hey, I said hey, to what the old man said 

So we hopped in his truck, went for a ride 

He talked about things before I was alive 

Ya know, that used to be a big mining town 

My brother and I brought that mountain down 

My oh my, look how they built over there 

Have ya ever thought about cutting that hair 

Ya never told me what do ya do 

Tell me kid, are ya just passing through 

You say hey, you say hey, from what the old man said 

So I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried 

Yeah, I tried to speak my piece 

So, low and behold when all was told the only listening one was me 

So I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried 

Yeah, I tried to break on through 

So, low and behold when all was told the stubburn one was he 

So the moral of the story is ya gotta learn a lesson 

Especially from a man who got a Smith and Wesson 

Ya better learn with your ears and not with your eyes 

Or you'll be dealt a big surprise 

I said hey, I said hey 

To what the old man said 

>From what he said now
