Old and in the way
Old and in the way That's what I heard him say They used to heed the words he said But that was yesterday Coal will turn to gray And youth will fade away They'll never care about you Cause you're old and in the way As I hear tell he was happy He had his share of friends and were kind Now those freinds have all passed on He don't have a place called home Looking back to a better day When you're old and in the way * Refrain When just a boy he left his home Thought he'd have the world on a string Now the years have come and gone Through the streets he walks alone LIke the old dog gone astray He's just old and in the way * Refrain They'll never care about you Cause you're old in the way
