lyrics

OLD MAN NOW

Believe me this man with the weak voice
used to be strong, used to be tougher than the boys
believe this man who now is in pain
he was invincible, parachutin’ through fire and rain

But the Earth revolves around the sun
And time won’t stand or stop or ever slow down
no, time won’t stand for no-damn-body nohow
and my old man, my old man
my old man is an old man now

Believe me this man taught me how to walk
taught me to wrestle no matter the challenge and never to balk
believe me this man made me who I am
believing in hard work and freedom and love and in my own hands

And the moon revolves around the Earth
And time won’t stand or stop or ever slow down
no, time won’t stand for no-damn-body nohow
and my old man, my old man
my old man is an old man now

Believe me this man, he is no saint
he never was and he never will be what he ain’t
Believe me this man, right till the end
he’ll put on a brave face, he will pretend

As the leaves fall from the trees
Time won’t stand or stop or ever slow down
no, time won’t stand for no-damn-body nohow
and my old man, my old man
my old man is an old man now
