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]
