Why, hello, say, can I buy you another glass of beer?
Well, thanks a lot, that's kind of you, it's nice to know you care
These days there's so much going on
No one seems to want to know
No one seems to want to know
I may be wrong, I may be wrong
I may be just an old soldier to some
But I know how it feels to grow old
Yeah, that's right
You can see me here almost every night
You always see me
you always see me
Staring at the walls and at the lights
Funny, I remember
Oh, it's years ago, I'd say
I'd stand at that bar
With my friends who've passed away
And drank three times the beer
That I can drink today
Yes, I know how it feels to grow old
I know what they're saying, son
That goes on my jaw again
Well, I may be mad at that
I've seen enough
But I've seen enough
To make a man go out of his brains
Well, they know what it's like
To have a graveyard as a friend
Cause that's where they are, boy
All of them
Don't seem likely
I'll get friends like that again
Yeah
Well, it's time
I moved off
But it's been great
Just listening to you
And I might even see you
Next time I'm passing through
You're right
There's so much going on
No one seems to wanna know
So keep it well, keep it well, old friend
And have another drink on me
Just ignore all the others
You got your memories
You got your memories
You got your memories
Well, thanks a lot, that's kind of you, it's nice to know you care
These days there's so much going on
No one seems to want to know
No one seems to want to know
I may be wrong, I may be wrong
I may be just an old soldier to some
But I know how it feels to grow old
Yeah, that's right
You can see me here almost every night
You always see me
you always see me
Staring at the walls and at the lights
Funny, I remember
Oh, it's years ago, I'd say
I'd stand at that bar
With my friends who've passed away
And drank three times the beer
That I can drink today
Yes, I know how it feels to grow old
I know what they're saying, son
That goes on my jaw again
Well, I may be mad at that
I've seen enough
But I've seen enough
To make a man go out of his brains
Well, they know what it's like
To have a graveyard as a friend
Cause that's where they are, boy
All of them
Don't seem likely
I'll get friends like that again
Yeah
Well, it's time
I moved off
But it's been great
Just listening to you
And I might even see you
Next time I'm passing through
You're right
There's so much going on
No one seems to wanna know
So keep it well, keep it well, old friend
And have another drink on me
Just ignore all the others
You got your memories
You got your memories
You got your memories
