Eric Clapton, Tom Petty - The Old Man and Me lyrics

[Eric Clapton, Tom Petty - The Old Man and Me lyrics]

The old man
He catches the fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank and I holler when he passes
"Hey, old man, are they bitin' today?"

I wake up in the morning
Thinking 'bout my troubles
I go down to the water and they pass away
And when the old man comes
A-floating down the river
"Hey, old man, are they bitin' today?"
"Hey, old man, are they bitin' today?"

Now here we've got a thing
That keeps on rolling
It ain't heavy, don't take it that way
The old man and me, we got a good thing goin'
He catches fish and I sit all day
He catches fish and I sit all day
