Old and in the Way

Lyrics:

• Chorus
• Old and in the way, that's what I heard them say
• They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday
• Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away
• They'll never care about you, call you old and in the way


• Once I hear tell, he was happy
• He had his share of friends and good times
• Now, those friends have all passed on
• He don't have a place called home
• Looking back to a better day, feeling old and in the way


• [chorus]


• When just a boy, he left his home
• Thought he'd have the world on a string
• Now the years have come and gone
• Through the streets he walks alone
• Like the old dog gone astray, he's just old and in the way


• [chorus]
• [chorus]
