To make a man go out his brains
Funny I remember, oh it's years ago I'd say
I'd stand at that bar with my friends who passed away
And have another drink on me
These days there's so much goin' on
Yeah, that's right, you can see me here most every night
I know what they're sayin' son
But it's been great just listenin' to you
Don't seem likely I'll get friends like that again, yeah
Well, it's time I moved off
Yes, I know how it feels to grow old
And I might even see you next time I'm passin' through
No one seems to want to know
There goes old man Joe again
You got your memories
I may be just an old soldier to some
So keep well, keep well old friend
No one seems to want to know
Just ignore all the others
You're right there's so much goin' on
Well, I may be mad at that I've seen enough
You'll always see me starin' at the walls and at the lights
But I know how it feels to grow old
And drank three times the beer that I can drink today
Well do they know what it's like to have a graveyard as a friend
'Cause that's where they are boy, all of them
