I feel a change comin' on
Like the sun goin' down
I been givin' too long
There's not enough to go 'round
And there's a small child waitin'
And she's wavin' her hand
She's callin' my name, and
Sayin' she understands
Her Old Man
If I could find my way back
To the place I once was
It's like fakin' a heart-attack
For a free ride on the bus
And I don't think I'm able
It's the lesson I've learned
When the cards on the table
Say the bridges are burned
Old Man
So you search for the answers
To the questions each day
While the Shakers and Dancers
Are all driftin' away
So you pack up your dreams
Put them back in the bags
That chance, now it seems
Was the last one you'll have
Old Man
It's the heaviest load
You've ever carried around
But, it's the last of the roads
That you'll ever walk down
It's the end of the highway
Time to give back the key
You got no wings to fly, hey
It's too late to be free
Old Man

I feel a change comin' on
Like the sun goin' down
I been givin' too long
There's not enough to go 'round
There's a small child waitin'
And she's holdin' my hand
She's callin' my name, and
Saying she understands
Her Old Man
