Give me a little bit of somethin' I can use |
|
To try to shake away these old man blues, |
|
Give me a little bit of somethin' I can use. |
|
When my teeth fall out and my hair turns grey, |
|
And all I got is memories of yesterday's you. |
|
Well my sister called me up just the other day, |
|
She said "Things have been the same since you've gone away", |
|
My sister called me up just the other day. |
|
I said "Say 'Hi' to mum and dad and I miss 'em so, |
|
But girl you gotta know when you gotta go away" |
|
Well you can stay in the same place 'til the day you die, |
|
And watch it fade away right before your eyes, |
|
As eveything you've ever known disappears. |
|
Or you can leave the only town that you've ever known, |
|
But god only knows where you will rome, |
|
And when you finally come back there's nothin' there. |
|
So I open up a window try to get some air, |
|
And I start to get to thinkin' of my friends back there, |
|
I open up a window try to get some air. |
|
Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields, |
|
All the rivers and the bridges and the broken wheels repaired. |

No, nothin' there. |

Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields, |

All the rivers and the ditches and broken wheels repaired. (2x) |
