How come the old man says:
“There ain’t nothing that I have left”
Shouldn’t he be telling me:
“This is exactly where you need to be”

All I know and what I really need 
is a future that’ll set me free

"Oh I’ll know better
I’ll be stronger when"

but if I believe the old man
I’ll just be getting older than

So how come the old man says:
“There ain’t nothing that I have left”
Shouldn’t he be telling me:
“This is exactly where you need to be”

All I got and all I really need 
is a future, that sets me free

Oh I’ll know better
I’ll be stronger when
So listen to me old man
I’ll just be getting older than
