Why hello,
say can I buy you another glass of beer?
Well thanks a lot, that's kind of you
it's nice to know you care
These days there's so much going on
No one seems to want to know
I may be just an old soldier to some
But i know how it feels to grow old
Yeah that's right,
you can see me here most every night
You'll always see me staring at the wall and the lights
funny i remember though it's years ago I'd say
I'd stand at the bar with my friends who've passed away
And drink three times the beer that i can drink today
Yes i know how it feels to grow old
I know what they're saying son
there goes old mad Joe again
Well, I maybe mad at that ive seen enough
to make a man go out his brains
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
Don't seem likely that I'll get friends like that again
Well, it's time I moved off
But it's been great just listening to you
And I might even see ya next time I'm passing through
You're right, there's so much going on
No one seems to want to know
So keep well, keep well old friend
And have another drink on me
Just ignore all the others
You got your memories
