Old Bones Lyrics


Old bones inside an old raincoat

Old bones inside of old shoes

Old friends from the hotel

Come by to wish me well

And keep me up to date on all the old news


Sometimes I have me a whiskey

And fall asleep in my chair

And I dream that I'm a man

Much younger than I am

I bet you'd think by now that I wouldn't care


But I love life, I'd like to do it again

Though I might not be much more than I've ever been

Just to have the chance to turn back the hands

And make my life begin

Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again


It's time for taking it easy

It's time for doing it slow

Old bones don't move so fast

Like they did once in the past

Now if I have to run, I simply don't go


Because I love life, I'd like to do it again

Though I might not be much more than I've ever been

Just to have the chance to turn back the hands

And make my life begin

Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again


Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again
