Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't let the old man in
I wanna live me some more
Can't leave it up to him
He's knocking on my door
[Verse 2]
I knew all of my life
That someday it would end
Get up and go outside
Don't let the old man in
[Verse 3]
Many moons I have lived
My body's withered and worn
Ask yourself how old you'd be
If you didn't know the day you were born
[Verse 4]
Try to love on your wife
And stay close to your friends
Toast each sundown with wine
And don't let the old man in
[Verse 5]
Many moons I have lived
My body's withered and worn
Ask yourself how old you'd be
If you didn't know the day you were born
[Verse 6]
When he rides up on his horse
And you feel that cold bitter wind
Look out your window and smile
And don't let the old man in
[Verse 7]
Look out your window and smile
Don't let the old man in
