Lyric

Hey you old man sittin'

By the lonesome road

It's 'bout time you're quittin'

life's old tiresome load

You're so sad and lonely

Got no family

Just an old man from

Some old country

You ain't sired no chillen'

Ain't none by your side

You left all your women

Ain't you satisfied

Don't just sit there clingin'

To a memory

Of the love left in

Some old country

Don't nobody need you old man

'Cause nobody calls your name

Nobody's gonna whisper

What a doggone shame

So the cold grim reaper

Has no sympathy

You won't see your homeland

'cept through me

- It's already the end -
