Hey
You old man sittin'
By the lonesome road
Lonesome road
It's 'bout time you're quittin'
Life's sometimes load
You're so sad
And lonely
Got no family
Just an old man
From some old country
You ain't sired no chillen'
See the ain't none by your side
You left all your women
And tell me baby
Ain't you satisfied
Don't you sit there clingin' to a memory
Of the love left in
Some old
Some old country
Through the years you wasted
I waited patiently
While the joys you tasted
Not a word from me
Don't just sit there clinging to a memory
Of a love you left in some old country
'Cause gone no one
Needs no you old man
No one calls your name
No one even whispers
What a doggone shame
Now that age is creeping
'Cross your pale gray brow
Ain't no use in weeping
For it's too late now
'Cause gone no one
Needs no you old man
For no one calls his name
No one even whispers
Oh what a doggone shame
And the cold grim reaper
Has got no sympathy
Won't find your homeland
'Cept through me
You cept
Through me
Hmmmmmm
Mmmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Oh nah
Oh nah
Oh
Nah yeeeeeee
Come that with me
Come that with me
To that
Ohhh
Come through
Come that with me
Come that with me
To that
Ohhh
