Old Ties and Companions

Old man give me endless time

Never let these ties sever

It's breaking bottles in the yard

Never still my mind againMmmLike old ties and companions

Just sitting on the fenceThe tears we've carried through the years will change

And man that's just enough

To keep these ghosts around those haunted fieldsMmmLike old ties and companions

You and I were just passing throughIt's a hundred thousand miles of lonely track

Holding back tomorrow

Someday I'll hop along and ride it homeLike old ties and companions

We never leave aloneSo old man give me endless time never let these ties sever

So heaven knows and all this fooling around

These times won't last forever, afterall
