Lyrics
Just an old grandpa
I can see him there
Pickin' on his banjo
Rockin' in his chair
Wide-eyed grandson
Lyin' in his bed
The old man's song running in his head
Chorus
I'm an old song
Started long ago
I'm an old song
Got a little way to go
Every year is a verse along my way
I'm gonna be a symphony someday
Remember your grandma
She could sing so fine
But her song ended
A little before mine
Someday soon
I know where I'll be
Standing right beside her in the symphony
Chorus
Bridge
Don't hide your song
Let it see the light of day
'Cause new songs and old songs
They were meant to play
Chorus
