Old Man lyrics by Ten Foot Pole

You tell me of a place where everybody knew their
Neighbors, all the families helped each other and no one
Ever locked their doors, you tell me no one locked their doors
Old man please stay a while I know at first I seemed too busy

But now I'll make the time stay and tell me one more story
Tell me about the time you ditched school to go fishing

Lyrics Provided By ZoneLyrics.net

You thought the branch would hold your neighbor
Pulled you from the river he helped you wash your clothes

And stitch the hole in your trousers and your mom never knew
Why he giggled when he saw you a place where no one
Locks their doors a place where no one locks their doors
You tell me that you would show me only now it is too late

I would like to build community only now it is too late
Things can never be the way they were before you can't go back
To how things were before once the trust is gone
Once the trust is gone, once the trust is gone, you'll lock the door

I can imagine that life but it seems so far from real
It's just like a story that's the kind of life I've never known old
Man you're leaving now taking with you things I've never known
I wonder where you're going and if it would be like your old home
I hope you find the place you're looking for
