From the recording Old Man
Words and music by Jason Deere
Old man, the time is come
For you to sit and ponder all the things you’ve done
I see your eyes drift back in time
Like an old movie through the years you call your life
And you may wonder as you get older
If you’ve really left a mark upon our hearts
You have loved deeper than the ocean
You have done some things that most could only dream
You have fought the fight that turned the tide
For all who’ve got your blood in their veins
Understand we’re all better for loving you Old Man
That girl you know
She’s not in that rocky ground beneath that stone
She waits for you, saving all her love, for the day you meet her in the clouds above
You can see the twilight and when you close your eyes
You can rest assured that you’ve done just fine
You have loved deeper than the ocean
You have done some things that most could only dream
You have fought the fight that turned the tide
For all who’ve got your blood in their veins
Understand we’re all better for loving you Old Man
May that peaceful river flow
When it comes your time to go
May that peaceful river flow
When it comes your time to go
You have loved deeper than the ocean
You have done some things that most could only dream
You have fought the fight that turned the tide
For all who’ve got your blood in their veins
Understand we’re all better for loving you Old Man
Understand we’re all better for loving you Old Man
My Old Man
