Old Man from Strange Tundra by Heavy Queen

I'm a rusty horse shoe in a pile of scrap
I'm a life that's half over and half of that
Was in that little ranch house on the county line
Driftin' off to the sound of them midnight trains
It's a mystery to me how I wound up in Maine
God must've had other things in mind

Old man
Old man
Thinkin' 'bout the old man
Those coffee black eyes and those leather rough hands
Every day of my life is still to be lived
But if it's all I got
This is all I'm ever gonna give

I'm a mangled acorn by the turn of the road
Underneath a live oak singin'
"Carry me home
I can't keep livin' off what I've been shown to know"
And if they think so highly of you down here
I'll be hangin' up here for years and years
Until somebody reaches out and lets me go

Old man
Old man
Thinkin' 'bout the old man
Those coffee black eyes and those leather rough hands
Every day of my life is still to be lived
But if it's all I got
This is all I'm ever gonna give

They say every bad back's got a story to tell
But I say every weak limb's got one as well
And you don't think I'm ready
I may not know what I'm missin'
But that don't make you God
And you ain't my mother neither
