Old Man & Me

Well an old man said to me

In a voice filled with pain

Where you going young man

Said I'm going to fight a war

Gonna fight for my country

In some foreign land

He said "The sun will never hurt you

Never harmed anyone

But you must realize

If you try to stare her down

She will win in the end

She will burn your eyes

She will burn them

Seen a million places

Seen a million faces die

And I wonder who will walk with me

When I get to Heaven

He said "Boy I was young once

Yeah I was tough

Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat

Hey I could kill the enemy

I could die on foreign streets

But I could not vote

But now you walk by me

You won't talk to me

Say this is my fate

But every time you walk the streets boy

Most of them you meet

You see it's you they hate

It's you

Seen a million faces

Seen a million places die

And I wonder who will walk with me

When I get to Heaven

I hope I get there

Seen a million places

Seen a million faces die

And I wonder who will walk with me

When I get there

See this woman sitting next to me

She's been there for a long, long time

And when I fell, she picked me up

When I cried, she wiped my tears

I thank god she's mine

And when I leave this world

She won't have anything

But her love for me

Cause the man took everything else

Made me hate myself

So just let her be boy

Won't you let her be
