Old Man Me Lyrics

Old Man And Me



 Hootie & the Blowfish



 Album: Fairweather Johnson



 



 Well, an old man said to me



 In a voice filled with pain



 Where you going, young man?



 Said, I'm going to fight a war



 Gonna fight for my country



 In some foreign land



 



 He said, the sun will never hurt you



 Never harmed anyone, but you must realize



 If you try to stare her down



 She will win in the end



 she will burn your eyes, she will burn them



 



 1-Seen a millon places



 Seen a million faces die, faces die



 Well, I wonder, who will walk with me



 When I get to heaven (there)



 



 He said, boy I was young once



 Yeah, I was tough, sailing on Uncle Sam's boat



 Hey, I could kill the enemy



 I could die on foreign streets



 But I could not vote, but now you walk by me



 You won't talk to me, say this is my fate



 But every time you walk, the streets, boy



 Most of them you meet, you see



 It's you they hate, it's you, yeah



 



 Seen a million faces



 Seen a million places die, places die



 Well, I wonder who will walk with me



 When I get to heaven, I hope I get there



 (repeat 1)



 



 See this woman sitting next to me?



 She's been there for a long, long, time



 And when I fell, she picked me up



 And when I cried, she wiped my tears



 I thank God she's mine



 



 And when I leave this world



 She won't have anything, but her love for me



 Well, the man took everything else



 He made me hate myself, so just let her be, boy



 Won't you let her be, yeah



 (rpt 1)



 



 Seen a million mothers cry



 Seen a million brothers dying



 But I wonder who will walk with me



 When I get there, when I get to heaven



 I hope I get there, when I get to heaven, yeah
