The Old Man
Walking from Arcadia with nothing to do
Headed to the best friend's place
We'll have a drink or two
There's a story 'bout a man, who's rugged, mean and keen
Blow your brains out with his gun for messing with his trees
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
The gun is steel with bullets real
Shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Run for cover and never turn back
Came upon that so-called field with many trees in score
Figured we would take the cut we'd always took before
We'd never seen him, never once and never did we think
He would make a guest appearance
So we jumped the links
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
The gun is steel with bullets real
Shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Run for cover and never turn back
Heard that famous shot ring out
Heard him set the dog about
The legend had now come to pass
We somehow made it out that night
Ran right through those forest fields
With that dog close at our heels
Ran jumped clean o'er the fence
That seemed a mile away at best
Shot by the old man
Shot by the old man
We got shot at by the old man
The gun was steel with bullets real
Shot by the old man
Shot by the old man
We got shot at by the old man
Ran for cover and never turned back
Headed to the best friend's place
We'll have a drink or two
There's a story 'bout a man, who's rugged, mean and keen
Blow your brains out with his gun for messing with his trees
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
The gun is steel with bullets real
Shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Run for cover and never turn back
Came upon that so-called field with many trees in score
Figured we would take the cut we'd always took before
We'd never seen him, never once and never did we think
He would make a guest appearance
So we jumped the links
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
The gun is steel with bullets real
Shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Don't get shot by the old man
Run for cover and never turn back
Heard that famous shot ring out
Heard him set the dog about
The legend had now come to pass
We somehow made it out that night
Ran right through those forest fields
With that dog close at our heels
Ran jumped clean o'er the fence
That seemed a mile away at best
Shot by the old man
Shot by the old man
We got shot at by the old man
The gun was steel with bullets real
Shot by the old man
Shot by the old man
We got shot at by the old man
Ran for cover and never turned back
