OLD MAN'S GONE

The old man is gone
T'was time to move along
And head on up the road
On that dead horse he rode

He went on as he please
Leaving dusty memories
Of him and of us
And of all that he was

THE OLD MAN'S GONE
ALL WE CAN DO IS RIDE ON 
RIDE ON, RIDE ON OUR WAY
WE'LL CATCH UP SOME DAY
   WAS A TIME TO REMEMBER
   A TIME TO NEVER FORGET
   THE OLD MAN IS GONE
   GONE OFF INTO THE SUNSET

Young man look around
This isn't your piece'a ground
Others have held it before
And after you many more

Learn to see beyond your sight
We're all a brief flash of light
And now that the old man's gone
Nothing to do but move on
Nothing to do but move on

THE OLD MAN'S GONE
ALL WE CAN DO IS RIDE ON 
RIDE ON, RIDE ON OUR WAY
WE'LL CATCH UP SOME DAY
   WAS A TIME TO REMEMBER
   A TIME TO NEVER FORGET
   THE OLD MAN IS GONE
   OFF INTO THE SUNSET
