off he goes - down the road

who knows how many he's been down before

with all the years he's come to know

does he wonder if hes gonna see one more

hangin on to yesterday - til too many tomarrows are todays

with all the turns the road will bring

well, a young man's gotta wait and see



will i ever be the old man who's words young ones ponder on

will i ever take a lady's hand

will i ever be the old man who's found that hes too far gone

will there come a day when i can't stand

tell me am i gonna live that long



reachin out - for days to come

where an old man walks a young man runs

the road I know is bound to end

still i can't help but wonder where and when



will i ever be the old man who's words young ones ponder on

will i ever take a lady's hand

will i ever be the old man who's found that hes too far gone

will there come a day when i can't stand

tell me am i gonna live that long
