Old Man Lyrics by Ginstrings

Ginstrings

2014

[Verse One]
The shot rang out when we were young
You took off running down that old lost road
Wasn't long before you left me behind
Nowhere to go, chasing a ghost

Brother, won't you stop and stay a while now
Where you goin' down that high line
Say you wanna see the sun rise again
Look to the east, look to the east

[Chorus]
Old man, white crime
You've been gone for all these years
Gotta turn around while there's still time
Old man, can't you see
You've been looking all your life
For a nickel in a pile of dimes

[Verse Two]
You never have the time to hang around
Skipping stones with them old barn dogs
You always seem to arrive from way up there
With both feet in the air

Brother, won't you stop and stay a while now
Hey, where you goin' down that high line
You say that you've got too much weight on your back
Strip down your pack, strip down your pack

[Chorus x3]
Old man, white crime
You've been gone for all these years
Gotta turn around while there's still time
Old man, can't you see
You've been looking all your life
For a nickel in a pile of dimes
