Talking Old Soldiers - Bettye LaVette

[00:19.40]While hello he said
[00:22.51]Can I buy you another glass of wine my dear“
[00:27.46]Thank you son, that's kind of you“
[00:32.07]It's so nice to know somebody cares
[00:37.61]These days there's so much going on
[00:46.36]I don't think nobody really wants to know
[00:54.56]I may reach just an ol' has been a some
[01:04.03]But I know how it feels to grow old
[01:14.32]Yeah I guess that's right
[01:18.40]You can find me here most in a night
[01:23.91]Just looking round the rooms
[01:26.86]Staring at the walls and the lights
[01:32.17]It's funny I remember oh five or six years ago I'd say
[01:41.96]I'd stand right here at this bar
[01:45.63]With my friends who passed away
[01:50.66]And drink three times the wine I can drink today
[02:01.41]Yup I know how it feels to grow old
[02:10.47]I know what they're saying son
[02:13.35]There goes an old frenzy broad again
[02:17.66]Well I may be mad at that but I've seen enough
[02:22.18]To make a young man go out his brains
[02:26.87]How the hell do they know
[02:29.22]What it's like to have a graveyard as a friend
[02:35.46]Cause that's where they all are boy all of them
[02:44.47]It don't seem likely I'll have those kinds of friends again
[02:57.63]I showed you hate you have to go
[03:01.23]But it's been great talking to you
[03:05.33]And how about see you
[03:09.16]The next time you're passing through
[03:13.78]You know it it's like I saying
[03:16.78]There's so much going on
[03:24.97]I don't really think nobody wants to know
[03:32.86]But you keep well my friend
[03:38.02]And don't give another thought on me
[03:44.37]Cause I'm gonna ignore all the rest
[03:51.36]I've got my memories
