The Old Man — текст песни (Clint Black)

Off he goes
down the road
who knows how many
he`s been down before

with all the years
he`s comes to know
does he wonder
if he`s gonna see one more

hanging on to yesterdays
till too many tomorrow`s 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 finds that he`s 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 wonder 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 finds that he`s too far gone (*)
will there come a day when I can`t stand
tell me am I gonna live that long
