G D C C [Verse 1]
G D C Old man sleeping the hot day away
G D C While he dreams a thousand yesterdays
G D C 'Cause he's had so many come his way
A C G All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow [Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
G D C Old man sits and thinks about his home
G D C Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone
G D C What he'd give to get back on his own
A C G Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation
A C G He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation [Instrumental]

G C G D [Chorus]
G C What a shame, his time is nearing
G C His eyes won't let him see the skies are clearing
G C Someone tells him without his hearing
A C A C It's no news to those who've been around while things are changing, oh
