Old Man Blues in A

Sittin’ here

Try to get it clear

How the old man does his job

Although his time is near

What keeps him goin’ when life has stopped growin’?

What keeps him strong?

How can he move along?

When life is

Up every day at six

Get that morning coffee fix

And buses and trains carry him

Over frozen city streets

The young people laugh at him as he slides across the sleet

Is love there?

Is love there?

Is love there?

Is love fair?

You make your life a little easier

And someone’s gotta make it up somewhere

Your life a little easier as you lose another care

Is love there?

Is love there?

Well I might have made the grade

I might have had what it takes

Yeah, I might made the “A”s

And I might have made mistakes

And I think about the old man

And I think about the time

And I think I’d like to help him

But I haven’t got a dime

When life is

Up every day at six

Get that morning coffee fix

And buses and trains carry him

Over frozen city streets

The young people laugh at him as he slides across the sleet

Is love there?

Is love there?

Is love there?

Is love fair?

You make your life a little easier

And someone’s gotta make it up somewhere

Your life a little easier as you lose another care

Is love there?

Is love there?
