When I am an old man

When I am an old man      I shall sit on a bench And watch the world go by      With shopping carts And little children in tow      When I am an old man I shall tell lies To the other old men on the bench      And we shall all laugh and nod together Remembering our memories of so long ago      When I am an old man I shall wear baggy pants a sweaty Stetson, and a shirt that does not match      with cigarette burns and buttons missing When I am an old man, I shall dance forever      My own dance, to my own tune And listen to the wind and the birds who don't tell lies      to pass the time When I am an old man...
