Old Man Looking Back
Young man tell me, what do you know?
You ain't even seen your children grow
Young man, I've been down that way
And you may not listen to a word I say
You got fire and I got time
Even though it's no friend of mine
Young man tell me, what do you see
High in the perch of your hickory tree?
Young man, why you moving so fast?
The days are long, but they never last
You blow in like a hurricane
Truth be told, I was just the same
Young man, did I teach you well?
If you come up short then I guess I failed
You realize I'm just learning too
Just a young man wearing an old man's shoes
Time goes by and people change
I'll be gone, but you'll remain
You ain't even seen your children grow
Young man, I've been down that way
And you may not listen to a word I say
You got fire and I got time
Even though it's no friend of mine
Young man tell me, what do you see
High in the perch of your hickory tree?
Young man, why you moving so fast?
The days are long, but they never last
You blow in like a hurricane
Truth be told, I was just the same
Young man, did I teach you well?
If you come up short then I guess I failed
You realize I'm just learning too
Just a young man wearing an old man's shoes
Time goes by and people change
I'll be gone, but you'll remain
