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?..
