Why hello, say can I buy you another glass of beer?Well thanks a lot, that's kind of you,It's nice to know you careThese days there's so much going onNo one seems to wanna knowI may be just an old soldier to someBut I know how it feels to grow oldYea that's rightYou can see me here most every nightYou'll always see me staringAt the walls and at the lightsFunny I remember oh it's years ago I'd sayI'd stand at that barWith my friends who've passed awayAnd drink three times the beer that I can drink todayYes I know how it feels to grow oldI know what they're saying sonThere goes old mad Joe againWell, I maybe mad at that, I've seen enoughTo make a man go out his brainsWell do they know what it's likeTo have a graveyard as a friend'Cos that's where they are boy, all of themDon't seem likely I'll get friends like that again.Well it's time I moved off,But it's been great just listening to youAnd I might even see yer next time I'm passing throughYou're right there's so much going onNo-one seems to wanna knowSo keep well, keep well old friendAnd have another drink on meJust ignore all the others, you've got your memories.
