Elton John - Talking Old Soldiers Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album tumbleweed connectionWhy hello, say can I buy you another glass of beerWell thanks a lot thats kind of you, its nice to know you careThese days theres so much going onNo one seems to want to knowI may be just an old soldier to someBut I know how it feels to grow oldYeah thats right, you can see me here most every nightYoull always see me staring at the walls and at the lightsFunny I remember oh its years ago Id sayId stand at that bar with my friends whove passed awayAnd drink three times the beer that I can drink todayYes I know how it feels to grow oldI know what theyre saying sonThere goes old man joe againWell I may be mad at that Ive seen enoughTo make a man go out his brainsWell do they know what its likeTo have a graveyard as a friend`cause thats where they are boy, all of themDont seem likely Ill get friends like that againWell its time I moved offBut its been great just listening to youAnd I might even see you next time Im passing throughYoure right theres so much going onNo one seems to want to knowSo keep well, keep well old friendAnd have another drink on meJust ignore all the others you got your memoriesYou got your memories
