Off he goes |
|
Down the road |
|
Who knows how many |
|
He's been down before. |
|
With all the years |
|
He's comes to know |
|
Does he wonder if he's |
|
Gonna see one more. |
|
Hanging on to yesterdays |
|
Til'too many tomorrow's are today |
|
With all the turns the road will bring |
|
Well, a young man's gotta wait and see. |
|
Will I ever be the old man |
|
Whose words young ones ponder on |
|
Will I ever take a lady's hand |
|
And will I ever be the old man |
|
Who finds that he's too far gone |
|
Will, there come a day when I can't stand |
|
Am I gonna live that long? |
|
Reaching out |
|
For days to come |
|
Where an old man walks |
|
A young man runs. |
|
The road I know |
|
Is bound to end |
|
Still I can't help wonderin' |
|
Where and when. |
|
Will I ever be the old man |
|
Whose words young ones ponder on |
|
Will I ever take a lady's hand |
|
And will I ever be the old man |
|
Who finds that he's too far gone |
|
Will there come a day when I can't stand |
|
Tell me am I gonna live that long?.. |
