Old Man & Me lyrics

Well an old man said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where you going young man
Said I¡¯m going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said ";The sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize";
If you try to stare her down
She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them

Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven

He said ";Boy I was young once
Yeah I was tough
Sailing on Uncle Sam¡¯s boat
Hey I could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But I could not vote
But now you walk by me
You won¡¯t talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see it¡¯s you they hate
It¡¯s you...

Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there

Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get there

See this woman sitting next to me
She¡¯s been there for a long, long time
And when I fell, she picked me up
When I cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god she¡¯s mine
And when I leave this world
She won¡¯t have anything
But her love for me
¡®Cause the man took everything else
Made me hate myself
So just let her be boy
Won¡¯t you let her be
