Lyrics
OLD DOGS
Old dogs never die some are just reborn
Others put to pastures not knowing what they mourn
Far too often passed in lifes fated race
Too easily seen merely as left without trace
Grow old gracefully accept the passing phase
Walk freely in the mountains don't dwell on your dying days
Three score years and ten are branded in our souls
To say we're not needed now is an ill-wind that blows
If given the chance you have to ask what we can't do
We've been there and realise the youth ain't got a clue
Grow old gracafully accept the passing phase
Walk feely in the mountains don't dwell on your dying days
So if you don't mind I'll rest my aging case
We know we can but we just don't want this overated pace
A trick to learn's never too much for those a long time born
Old dogs never die some are just reborn
Grow old gracefully accept the passing phase
Walk freely in the mountains don't dwell on your dying days
