Old man, old man, tell me what to do
I can tell by the look in your eye that you want to reveal it to
We can learn so much from you if we only take the time
Old man, we need your peace of mind

Old man, old man, tell us about your youth
Don't leave out the good parts and the times you could lose
Don't go and get yourself down because you're getting old
To me you're worth your weight in gold

Old man, old man, tell me what to do
I can tell by the look in your eye that you want to reveal it to
We can learn so much from you if we only take the time
Old man, we need your peace of mind

Old man, I thank you for all the times we shared
For all your tall tales and the times you were there
Now young folks need to pay some heed and hear what they gotta say
Listen to the old ones and you'll have a better day

Old man, old man, tell me what to do
I can tell by the look in your eye that you want to reveal it to
We can learn so much from you if we only take the time
Old man, we need your peace of mind

Old man, old man, tell me what to do
I can tell by the look in your eye that you want to reveal it to
We can learn so much from you if we only take the time
Old man, we need your peace of mind

Old man, we need your peace of mind
Old man, we need your peace of mind
