Old Man Lyrics - Rev - Ten Foot Pole

You tell me of a place where everybody knew their 

Neighbors, all the families helped each other and no one 

Ever locked their doors, you tell me no one locked their doors 

Old man please stay a while I know at first I seemed too busy 

But now I'll make the time stay and tell me one more story 

Tell me about the time you ditched school to go fishing 

You thought the branch would hold your neighbor 

Pulled you from the river he helped you wash your clothes 

And stitch the hole in your trousers and your mom never knew 

Why he giggled when he saw you a place where no one 

Locks their doors a place where no one locks their doors 

You tell me that you would show me only now it is too late 

I would like to build community only now it is too late 

Things can never be the way they were before you can't go back 

To how things were before once the trust is gone 

Once the trust is gone, once the trust is gone, you'll lock the door
