Old Man

[Uncle Joe]

Lyrics

Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
Twenty-four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life
I'm a lot like you were

As we're having this discussion about ageism.

1. What a great song from Neil.

[Uncle Joe]

5. I agree Ohiogal,

it is a most beautiful song.

[RandySF]

2. I would have been 100% behind Jerry Brown if he ran.

3. Age and Experience often go hand in hand.....

But then, I know many who are young who have vast experience of the world and themselves because they have intellectual curiosity. Then I know many who are in their golden years who have experienced NOTHING in their lives other than what is arm's length.

[Uncle Joe]

4. I agree on all counts ProudMNDemocrat.
