Hey my old man, it's a long and wild country It's getting older this time Hey man old man, we're gonna get our things together And see what's over my mind And hey my old girl, there's a book I think you should read it It's about you and I, we're getting old And there's a bottle of cough syrup, in the cupboard if you need it It'll help you sleep for years, I'm told Cause soon you'll crawl, through my old house door My old son's got a heartache It's bigger than Goliath's beard and a rocket to the sky It'll break you into pieces, cause you never last forever My God, don't you wonder why? Hey my old boy, I can see your eyes for miles They're like two birds flying in the sun And your mom's on the front porch Can you hear a name she's calling? Better find out what she's running from Cause soon you'll fall, it won't mean nothing at all My old son's got a heartache It's bigger than Goliath's beard and a rocket to the sky It'll break you into pieces, cause you never last forever My God, don't you wonder why? Oh, my old son's got a heartache It's bigger than Goliath's beard and a rocket to the sky It'll break you into pieces, cause you never last forever My God, don't you wonder why?
