Текст песни These Old People (feat. Lloyd Miller) - Paul Nourigat

That old man, he ain't goin away
He's still got a few things left to say
Got books to read, plenty o' songs to hear
Catch some fish, have a few more sips of beer

Now, that old lady, she plans to stay
No good reason for her to say goodbye
She's got people to see, and places to go
She's quick to laugh, and not afraid to cry

These old folks, they're here, today
They prefer to defer judgement day
Living life like it will not last, you can treat em' nice or, u can kiss their ass

They put their hearts into their families
Lifetimes as loving moms and dads
Fought battles, and toiled in their jobs
They've seen their share of joy, and plenty of sad

Yeah, can't imagine what they've experienced
They've done things that'd blow the mind
Their lives are like lightning in a bottle
You'd be surprised at all the treasures you can find

These old folks are here, today
They prefer to defer judgement day
They're living life like it will not last
You can treat em' nice or u can kiss their ass

A lot of people discount the past
Think knowledge is brand spanking new
But sitting down with an aging soul, about the smartest thing any one of us could do

Yeah, they're living life like it will not last
You can treat em' nice or, you can kiss my ass
