Neil Percival Young,OC,OM (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation.
Young began performing as a solo artist in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, and later joined Crosby, Stills & Nash as a fourth member in 1969. He forged a successful and acclaimed solo career, releasing his first album in 1968; his career has since spanned over 40 years and 34 studio albums, with a continual and uncompromising exploration of musical styles. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website describes Young as "one of rock and roll’s greatest songwriters and performers". He has been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice: first as a solo artist in 1995, and second as a member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997.
Young's work is characterized by his distinctive guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and signature alto or high tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments, including piano and harmonica, his idiosyncratic electric and clawhammer acoustic guitar playing are the defining characteristics of a varyingly ragged and melodic sound. While Young has experimented with differing music styles, including swing and electronic music throughout a varied career, his best known work usually falls into two primary styles: acoustic (folk and country rock) and electric (amplified hard rock, very often in collaboration with the band Crazy Horse). Young has also adopted elements from newer styles such as alternative rock and grunge. His influence on the latter caused some to dub him the "Godfather of Grunge".

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
Late for my plane again
Had to stop for some gas at this country store
That's when I saw the old man
He was kicked back, workin' on a big RC
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
Took him awhile to even notice me
Sittin' there I thought to myself
Old man
(Old man)
You got one up on me
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
You're satisfied as you can be
Old man
(Old man)
I guess you got one up on me
Well, he finally strolled over with a big ol' smile
Said, "How ya doin, son?"
I said, "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can
'Cause I'm really in a run"
He said, "What's your hurry on a day like this?
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss
If you wanna see what the good life is
Just get out and visit awhile"
Old man
(Old man)
You got one up on me
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
You're satisfied as you can be
Old man
(Old man)
I guess you got one up on me
Don't remember just what it was the old man said to me
But I forgot about catchin' the plane and opened up the big RC
Old man
(Old man)
You got one up on me
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
You're satisfied as you can be
Old man
(Old man)
I guess you got one up on me
Old man
Old man
Old man
Old man
He's waiting for the midday wind
And waves spread out so dull and slack
And with a hand fan every day
The old man smooths the water back
I cast a stone in just for fun
The water rings moved on the plane
So sadly stood the old man by
And swept the water flat again
In white sand the old man sat
Trembling as he smoked his pipe
Just the water and I know that
The fan is of a special type
Awareness sleeps volcano dreams
Reluctant I asked him why
His head hung low as if he slept
And then he said before he died
The water will be your only mirror
First when it's like glass can you see
How many fairytales you have left
For your deliverance you will plead
The fan was pressed to his breast
Just as death's grip seized up his hand
His fingers must have been so tight
The fan remained back in the sand
I call the old man every day
Should he come and deliver me
I stay here with the midday wind
And in the fan it is plain to read
The water will be your only mirror
First when it's like glass can you see
How many fairytales you'll have left
For your deliverance you will plead
Old man sleepin' the hot day away,
while he dreams a thousand yesterdays.
'Cause he's had so many come his way.
All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow.
Old man sits and thinks about his home.
Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone.
What he'd give to get back on his own.
Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation.
He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation.
What a shame,
his time is nearin'.
His eyes won't let him see
the skies are clearin'.
Someone tells him
without his hearin'.
It's no news to those who've been around
The old man he catches the fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank and I holler when he passes
"Hey, old man, are they biting today"
I wake up in the morning, thinking 'bout my troubles
I go down to the water and they pass away
And when the old man comes a-floating down the river
"Hey, old man, are they biting today"
Now here we've got a thing that keeps on rolling
It ain't heavy, don't take it that way
The old man and me, we got a good thing going
He gets his fish and I sit all day
The desert sun shone down upon him
He went to find the Old Man
Too see if he could learn the secret of magic
The Indian held in his hand
Old Man won't you teach me your magic
I'd like to see the world the same way as you.
Has anyone seen the one that I search for?
I know he comes here once in a while
Someone must know where I could find him
But they just shook their heads and smiled.
Old Man won't you teach me your magic
I'd like to see the world the same way as you.
Then someone tappped him on the shoulder
And said I think you're looking for me
Now that I'm here your search is over
I will reveal your reason to be.
Teach me to see instead of just looking
Show me how I can stop the world
I want to become a man of knowledge
Unlock the door that keeps me away.
Old Man won't you teach me your magic
Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
You must remember me old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes, old man
Look who's come to say goodbye
The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
You want to stay, I know you do
But it ain't no use to try
'Cause I'll be here and I'm just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
Won't be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You don't need anybody, nobody needs you
Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me?
You must remember me, old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes, old man
Look who's come to say, "Goodbye"
The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
You wanna stay, I know you do
But it ain't no use to try
'Cause I'll be here and I'm just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
Won't be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You don't need anybody, nobody needs you
Don't cry, old man, don't cry
Happy with no teeth
Happy here in hibernation
Slurpin' on a peach
Starin' at the situation
Kitty on my foot
Meowin' out a conversation
Rockin' back and forth
That's my only destination
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me!
Got a two string on my lap
Total subsonic vacation
Got chicken on the drums,
Poundin' out a perfect prescription
Got twenty little worms
I'll plug in some amplification
Got fifteen hundred base drum - luggin bug-eyed monkeys
All arriving at the station
I'm sittin on the back porch, kickin' my legs back,
Rockin' in my rocking chair, and sittin' there
On the little back porch is about to fall apart
So I think I might repair it
Just as I'm thinkin' about repairin' it,
Some little friends come along
With some two-string, one-string, no-string guitars
And they all plug em all in to the back porch
And they sit around playin' all their favorite songs
They's kickin' back feelin' real good,
Real fine, real full of the wine
And everything's fine, everything's beautiful,
Everything's great, I just feel so good
You know I'm seventy years old
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 i can imagine that life but it seems so far from real it's just like a story that's the kind of life i've never known old man you're leaving now taking with you things i've never known i wonder where you're going and if it would be like your old home i hope you find the place you're looking for
Blackie / Big Boss
Rodxx, oh Rodxx,
You mustnt fight with Dygon !
Hell laugh at your sword, Hell crush you with his claws.
My advice seems menacing,
But only truth it tells,
Our nation is hesding for undoing,
And is past help.
The Stone dominates us all,
Vengeance is hidden in it,
Your fight is already lost.
There are no winners ! Nothing at all !
In the Black Stone from the thin air
That gave birth to Dygon
The power of thousands is concealed,
Of alien worlds creatures.
Their strength knows, No boundaries,
Oh Rodxx, it wont be a duel,
Oh Rodxx, it wont be a duel,
Death is facin death here !

Old man look at my life,
Old man he looks out the window
You know he gets quite a fright.
Whole world has gone and changed on him
Feels like it was overnight.
He saw a world war yeah it came and went
The man walked on the moon right there in his living room
Saw that TV become a relgion,
The Wall came down and Big Mac beat the communists.
Feels like it was overnight.
Oh god it feels like it was overnight.
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight.
Old man looks out the window
You know he can not open it anymore.
The air outside its gone to rancid
And the doctor said for him you know it wouldn't be so good for
He saw a hole start opening up in the sky
He's buying water man he doesn't even know why
The smog alerts don't let him even go outside
And then he start he start to think
When the Earth it start to die.
Feel like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight.
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight.
Enjoy your last.
Last taste of freedom!
Old man he bars up the windows
You know he does not feel so safe anymore.
he come from those supposed good ole days
When you did not even have to go lock your doors
He saw security man look Police man
Saw the Police start looking like the Army Man,
He saw Army start acting like the C.I.A
And guess what, the C.I.A was the president.
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight.
Feels like it was overnight
Oh god it feels like it was overnight.
Enjoy your last.
Goodbye old man won't see you again
I'm free to fly my wrists and ankles you tied
You lied that voice of reason became my pride
Now I see you behind bars your prison is no longer mine
So goodbye old man take a last look at my back
Goodbye disease
You're not on my body where people can see
I sinned against you my friend
Tried to lead you to somewhere that I've never been
I am what you say anger found it's home in this house of pain
It's time to swim salvation's waters 'cause you're still not wet
(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
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
It doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Drink as much as I used to
Just don't think I can
Screw as much as I used to, but
I still don't use my hand
No ones looking up to me and
Telling me I'm king
Girls no longer chasing me
And looking for a fling
But I wouldn't, I couldn't
Look as old as you and I'm dead
Wouldn't, I couldn't
Come and dig me up outta the ground
To the old man in the end of life
Don't rest more nothing
To leave the long days to pass
Waiting for the death
In soul bring the great pain
Of exclusion and forsake
And today your mind is full
Of questions without response
What the old man want to say
The words don't organize more
And be with touched expression
When know that old brothers die
And your soon forget you
The long live was to past
And the time to make rude all
They don't get to create affective
Win the sorrow and the pride
Don't back the time and to begin
And the past will torture you until the end
For the old man rest the guilty and lonely
I'd had enough so i walked out the door,
Don't expect to hear much from me anymore
This chapter is closed, its the end of the line
I can't keep on feeling like this all the time
None of the sadness is going away
Nothing will change until you let yourself live
I know i'm like you in more ways than one
And i truly hate the man i've become
I guess thats a part, yeah, its all crossed the line (?)
You're running out of time, the ends almost here
And none of the sadness if going away
I never understood why you wanted nothing to do with me
And in time everything will turn out all right, you're not a part of it
And every time i fall down and lose sight, you are the cause of it
No one will ever help me now, because no one will ever see
The sickness and sadness that you so kindly passed on to me
Now i roam around the world looking for life
You're not apart of it
And we've passed the point of making everything right
Thats the worst part of it
And in time everything will turn out all right, you'll not be a part of it
And every time i fall down and lose sight, you are the cause of it
No one will ever help me now, because no one will ever see
Got a old horse
Run loose on the farm
Like a big dog
Don't do no harm
And I live down
A dead end track
Me and my horse
And them chickens out back
Raised five kids
They've all up and gone
Came up rough
Not a one went wrong
When the old woman died
They scattered in the wind
And I never know
When I'll see em again
I'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24
I'm an old man
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around here anymore
Had an old dog
Lived 15 years
Train got his leg
Coon got his ear
He loved to hunt
He loved to fight
The way I used to be
On Saturday night
I'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24
I'm an old man
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around here anymore
I still work
A good half a day
Plant a little corn
Cut a little hay
Don't want a-die
Until I've lived too long
They'll sell this place
Whenever I'm gone
I miss my sweetheart so
And they way she used to smile
I miss them kids of mine
Runnin' wild
When daylight fades
In late afternoon
'Bout all I know is
It was gone to soon
I'm an old man
Done all I can
I been working this land
Since I was 24
I'm an old man
Ain't a whole lot going on
Around here anymore
Ain't a whole log goin on
Around her anymore
Ain't a whole lot going on
Old man, you were young then
Had so much love that
You traded for gradient things
So I walked up to your red door
And I could not see a reflection of me
So I laid down on your front lawn
And let the grass grow up around me
And wait...
'Cause you've got me on my knees
And right about now I'm begging you please
I know you won't 'cause you've got needs
And everything stops when everyone wants, we all need things
So please...
Red light, you say you want life
But you stop right before the good part
And the green light, yeah that's my left eye
It gets so cold, I have to close them both
And wait...
'Cause you've got me on my knees
And right about now I'm begging you please
I know you won't 'cause you've got needs
And everything stops when everyone wants, we all need things
And right about now I'm on my knees
The world we know,
It's the world we lost.
I said I've got the lines if you'd like to hear it
Verse 1:
I once knew a man
Been everywhere in the world
Gave me a tiny ivory ball
Said it would bring me good
Never believed it would until
I have been loving you
Verse 2:
Dear old man
He'd seen most everything
Gave me a piece of good advice
Said it would do me well
I couldn't really tell until
I have been loving you
Bridge:
Now it seems
Things are not so strange
I can see more clearly
Suddenly I've found my way
I know the old man would laugh
He spoke of love's sweeter days
And in his eloquent way
I think he was speaking of you
You are so lovely
You didn't have to say a thing
Verse 3:
But I remember that old man
Telling me he'd seen the light
Gave me a small brown leather book
Insisted that he was right
I only heard him slightly
'Til I heard you whisper
Took you up all in my arms
Coda:
Dear old man
Wise old man
Fine old man, now
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that won't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Just one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been the first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Just one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
So much farther off than time could reach
Today it would be too late
So much despair he has bled
But will he wither away?
No one knows that you must keep
This old man wide awake
'Cause no one knows that he could feed
Our lives with brighter flame
Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be released
Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did
Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did
Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be released
The stars fell from the night sky
As he reached his hands in the air
As the sun peeked between the trees
The old man burst to tears
Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Hey old man, say, whatcha say
Have ya got some information?
I'm far away, just way out here
And I need a destination
I cannot find what I want
With just an invitation
And when I see all the things
That you have, what you got
Don't let the children out to play
Don't let the rain wash down your sunny day
And if it does, don't bring your kids to me
I won't be here, somewhere is where I'll be
Don't be confused, don't be ashamed
It's not to be your fault
The boys will have the masster ploy
And that's the end result
For better thhan for worse
There was forever be the day
For what you think you can't receive
And that will be okay
Don't let the children out to play
Don't let the rain wash down your sunny day
And if it down, don't bring your kids to me
Never before would he even thought it
Take her life away
Nothing can give her peace but leaving
Careful, what you say
He sees the pain
That no one else is seeing
He feels the pain
That no one else is feeling
Now you've gone past the point you can't take
Now you've gone past the point you can't
Stop all the suffering
Stop all the pain
Old man stop the pain
Now your life is stained
Old man stop the pain
Now your life is stained
Had it been the other way around
There's nothing I would change here
For my sake, for her sake, hey it's not a life I'm ending
Hold on to nothing, I'll set you free
Now you've gone past the point you can't take
Now you've gone past the point you can't
Stop all the suffering
Stop all the pain
Old man stop the pain
Now your life is stained
Old man stop the pain
Now your life is stained
Go to sleep softly and know this
I'm gonna take away the only thing you've left
Because you can't speak to ask
I will send you on your way
It's the way its gotta be to set her free
Take another shot, old man
It's the way its gotta be
You know what you are ending
Old man stop the pain
Now your life is stained
Old man stop the pain
Old man stop the pain
Now your life is stained
Old man stop the pain
Its the way its gotta be to set her free
Take another shot old man
Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you
Old man, take a look at my life
Twenty-four and I'm so much more
Live alone in a paradise, makes me think of two
Love lost at such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me, mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
(written by Neil Young)
Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you
Old man, take a look at my life
Twenty-four and I'm so much more
Live alone in a paradise, makes me think of two
Love lost at such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed, rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me, mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Looking over at that old man. He's going away.
Permanently, and we'll all go eventually like a sunken
stone, but I think we'll float away.
Smile over at that old man and he smiles.
Look at that calming down rain coming down.
See that rock. We might come back and be that rock and
count the years the way it counts.
And take all the shit from everything and everyone
walking all over it.
Who told you, you can't choose the way you want to be?
Who told me I'm gonna' burn when you can't burn energy?
I think I'll choose a better space to spend my energy. I
think I'll choose a better place to spend my eternity.
Looking over at that old man. He's going away.
Permanently, and we'll all go eventually like a sunken
stone, but I think we'll float away.
So suddenly an old bearded man has revealed the opponent’s plan
While joyfully sipping the rotgut, he just grabbed the pawn with your name
So suddenly the eyes of this opponent have becomed a bit more red,
hung over the chessboard to choose the best field where to retreat…
Staring at the light, relaxed, calm and delight,
overstraining yourself - yout coasted sweated sense of sight
Instigate rusty tools to glorify the mechanie
Teach the rain and snow the rudiments of tactics
School the dumb coincidence the natural low and values
Grant them well, let’em sense the beauty of corruption
Fed and drunk with viceups they should eat more reasonable
He didn't have much
A pair of hard working hands
Everything that I needed
I got it from the old man
With a nine second dream
He drove the Redlight Bandit
And the grease on his hands
Was the way he commanded
And the life he demanded
It kept us all in a struggle
When he ruled with his fist
It kept us all out of trouble
Even though he would leave
He wore his heart on his sleeve
And by the way that he walked
He taught me how to believe
Old man look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Growin' up at the track
He had a reason for being fast
His heart felt like breaking
He'd look right up at the ceiling and
Start again, never breathe a word of his loss
Cause it's not about winning
It's the rivers you cross
And the pain that you feel
Could be the fuel that you use
And if you're in need of direction
Be it the path that you choose
My old man is a legend
He cast a shadow so great
I think of how he is watchin'
With every move that I make
Old man look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Now there's no slowin' down
There's only settin' the pace
No more dreams to be stolen
Just the right ones to chase
You've been through the worst
Now you know who to trust
Leave them something behind
Before the ashes and dust
Old man look at my life
Old man look at my life
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
You may be the belle of the ball
yeah babe you may have it all
fill me up and make me high
why I don’t understand.
To me it’s just a mystery
you’ve got me on a piece of string
pull me close or let me swing
I am in your hands.
I was a young boy when I met you girl
now I’m an old, old man.
I wish that I could stop the time
that you and I could just rewind
love to do it all again
but I don’t think we can.
I’m not sure what I would change
‘cause darling those were glory days
our techni-colour loving phase
reminds me who I am
I was a young boy when I met you girl
Old man what can you tell me? After all this time about rhythm and the rhyme? Old man, what can you show me? After all these years, you seem to look at me and know me
Well I heard, I heard you found the wishing well Well it must be so, cause it shows Oh I heard, I heard you found the wishing well And it took the load...and let you go
Old man what can you learn me? After all these tears, should you tell me what can concern me? Old man what can you show me? After all this time, you seem to look at me and know me
Well I heard, I heard you found the wishing well Well it must be so, cause it shows Oh I heard, I heard you found the wishing well And it took the load...and let you go
We broke apart for so long
When you were right i was wrong
You know i will tell you the truth
I have nothing else to lose
You know that i'm the only one
Are you proud to say my son
You know im doing the best i can
I didn't think you would understand
Do you see you in my face
I hope i'm not out of place
Should i go or should i stay
I want to live for today
[Chorus]
Hey old man we're free
Here in the land of liberty
What's there left to say (i can't take another day)
My father was a wise man in life, and, he always taught me how to weigh
Life in the right way, father was a fine man, spic'n'span
He wore slick suits, shoes, boots, a pair of baggy pants
Father was a good man, a true man, he taught me what to say
And he taught me what not to say, father was a nice man
The right man, and I will never ever see a man like my old man.
My father was a real man, a he-man,
He loved his wife all his life up to this day
Father was a straight man, a strict man,
He brought us up, w/ a soft yet firm hand
My father was a brave man, a proud man,
He stood by the things he said and had to say
Father was "THE" man, I understand,
And I will never, ever know a man like my old man
