James Cain songs
Old Man
Written by George Carter Jr. and James Cain © 2011
Check your conscience at the door……….
Old Man.. you don’t live here anymore
Drink the years away with pain and tears
Catch a Cab back to when you knew love
When you knew love.
Hold your glass………….toast your past
Hear memories laugh……as time kicks your ass
You stand still while your mind runs away
Hide and seek your game is weak…. still you want to play
The choking truth…… of wasted youth
Has brought you to this place
And now it’s all in your face
Can’t you see it’s never been a race
And your last spark….lies smoking on the rack
You finally know you’ll never get the fire back.
