The old man is laughing tonight
He's young beyond his fears
But then the smile drops from his eyes and we all wind up in tears
The old man's crying tonight
Cause it all happened so fast
He's frightened by the future, embarrassed by the past
So let him be who he wants to be
Cause he ain't ever gonna be young again
And let him see who he needs to see
Cause he never had too many friends
And ask him how he remembers me
Cause I want to know where I stand
How I love my old man
The old man's restless tonight
Just trying to kill his pain
He believes what he says he believes but that don't make him a saint
The old man's lonesome tonight
And he just wants to go home
All those fools who stand in his way why can't they leave him alone
