Kenny Rogers - There's an Old Man in Our Town lyrics
[Kenny Rogers - There's an Old Man in Our Town lyrics]
There's an old man in our town
There's an old man in our town
And I guess he's been around
For years and years
At least it seems that way
Wrinkled hands and rocking chair
Growing old just sitting there
Every year he had the same old things to say
Youth only happens to you one time
And so I've been told
If you should miss it in your youngtime
Have it when you're old
Now there's no old man sitting there
Just an empty rocking chair
But the things he said will always be around
Someday when I'm old and grey
Maybe youth can come my way
I'll be proud to be the old man in our town
And I'll say:
Youth only happens to you one time
And so I've been told
If you should miss it in your youngtime
Have it when you're old
There's an old man in our town
And I guess he's been around
For years and years
At least it seems that way
Wrinkled hands and rocking chair
Growing old just sitting there
Every year he had the same old things to say
Youth only happens to you one time
And so I've been told
If you should miss it in your youngtime
Have it when you're old
Now there's no old man sitting there
Just an empty rocking chair
But the things he said will always be around
Someday when I'm old and grey
Maybe youth can come my way
I'll be proud to be the old man in our town
And I'll say:
Youth only happens to you one time
And so I've been told
If you should miss it in your youngtime
Have it when you're old
