Lyrics

This old man He was my father He wasn't here for very long I've always carried one thing he told me Son, you must be strong This old man of mine This old man You gotta learn to put em up And never let them see you cry And since that day I've come out fighting But I never got to ask him why This old man of mine This old man I've had a life As the years moved by I've kept my feelings locked deep inside But I only became a man The day I learned I could cry This old man of mine This old man Yes I cried Followed the anger Followed the time that slipped away Yes I cried Cried for my father For what he could never say This old man He was my father He wasn't here for very long I've always carried one thing he told me Son, you must be strong This old man of mine This old man This old man This old man This old man This old man This old man
