old man

  wanna tell ya a story that happened to me
  there was this old man started chattin' with me
  he sat by himself on the side of the road
  a cowboy hat and them pointed toes
  he said, hey son what do ya do
  ya better pay attention when i'm talkin' to you
  i've been around here for a long, long time
  could have bought this land for damn near a dime
  (right over there past that gas station over there, see it)
  so i headed on over, leaned against his truck
  and ya better hear me out or you're shit outta luck
  i've been through times that you wouldn't believe
  it makes a man feel about a hundred and three
  again he asked, what do ya do
  i can't imagine by lookin' at you
  boy, things have changed since way back when
  i wish that i was back in my teens again
  i said hey, i said hey, to what the old man said
  so we hopped in his truck, went for a ride
  he talked about things before i was alive
  ya know, that used to be a big mining town
  my brother and i brought that mountain down
  my oh my, look how they built over there
  have ya ever thought about cutting that hair
  ya never told me what do ya do
  tell me kid, are ya just passing through
  you say hey, you say hey, from what the old man said
  so i tried and i tried and i tried and i tried
  yeah, i tried to speak my piece
  so, low and behold when all was told the only listening one was me
  so i tried and i tried and i tried and i tried
  yeah, i tried to break on through
  so, low and behold when all was told the stubburn one was he
  so the moral of the story is ya gotta learn a lesson
  especially from a man who got a smith and wesson
  ya better learn with your ears and not with your eyes
  or you'll be dealt a big surprise
  i said hey, i said hey
  to what the old man said
  >from what he said now
