Lyrics

Well, I’m just an old man…just an old man getting older
Rolling through these years like some runaway boulder
I’ve had good times…my share of bad times
And a lot of just getting by

Now, the mirror shows the man…the man I never dreamed I’d be
Breathing in time with the rain falling through my walnut tree
In the puddles outside, I see everything…
Everything that’s ever made me cry

So, I’ll drink another beer and watch another show
Then sleep another night away dreaming about years long ago
And when the sun comes up I can give this game of life one more try again
Or maybe the game’s already over…
Called off on account of rain

Well, I’m just an old fool…just an old fool still believing
That I’ll find a little luck if I never stop my dreaming
But I swear I can’t seem to find any…
No matter how hard I try

If I’m honest I will say I never did amount to nothing
Too many lame excuses…Too much bullshit…too much bluffing
And the more I think about it today…
Only leaves me asking “Why, oh why?”

So, I’ll smoke another smoke and sit here all alone
And I’ll waste another night thinking about where the years have gone
And when the sun comes up I can give this game of life one more try again
Or, maybe the game’s already over…
Called off on account of rain
Yeah, maybe this game’s already over…
Called off on account of rain
