You got your memories
So keep well, keep well old friend
And I might even see you next time I'm passin' through
Just ignore all the others
No one seems to want to know
I may be just an old soldier to some
I'd stand at that bar with my friends who passed away
Yes, I know how it feels to grow old

Yeah, that's right, you can see me here most every night
And drank three times the beer that I can drink today
'Cause that's where they are boy, all of them
No one seems to want to know
Well, it's time I moved off
And have another drink on me
There goes old man Joe again
Well do they know what it's like to have a graveyard as a friend
Well, I may be mad at that I've seen enough

These days there's so much goin' on
Don't seem likely I'll get friends like that again, yeah
But I know how it feels to grow old
You're right there's so much goin' on
To make a man go out his brains
Funny I remember, oh it's years ago I'd say
You'll always see me starin' at the walls and at the lights
You got your memories
But it's been great just listenin' to you
I know what they're sayin' son
