Give me a little bit of somethin' i can use
To try to shake away these old man blues,
Give me a little bit of somethin' i can use.
When my teeth fall out and my hair turns grey,
And all i got is memories of yesterday's you.
Well my sister called me up just the other day,
She said "things have been the same since you've gone away",
My sister called me up just the other day.
I said "say 'hi' to mum and dad and i miss 'em so,
But girl you gotta know when you gotta go away"
Well you can stay in the same place 'til the day you die,
And watch it fade away right before your eyes,
As everything you've ever known disappears.
Or you can leave the only town that you've ever known,
But god only knows where you will roam,
And when you finally come back there's nothin' there.
So i open up a window try to get some air,
And i start to get to thinkin' of my friends back there,
I open up a window try to get some air.
Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields,
All the rivers and the bridges and the broken wheels repaired.
Well you can stay in the same place 'til the day you die,
And watch it fade away right before your eyes,
As everything you've ever known disappears.
Or you can leave the only town that you've ever known,
But god only knows where you will roam,
And when you finally come back there's nothin' there.
No, nothin' there.
Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields,
All the rivers and the ditches and broken wheels repaired. [2x]
