Old man, thanks Neil Young

A favorite song, cause it fits:

Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were

Old man look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you

{Refrain}
Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true

Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you

{Refrain}

Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were
Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were
