Old Man & Me (When I Get To Heaven)

In the style of

Hootie & the Blowfish

Lyrics

well an old man
said to me
in a voice filled
with pain
where ya goin'
young man

said i'm goin'
to fight a war
gonna fight
for my country
in some foreign land

he said the sun
will never hurt you
never harmed
anyone
but you must realize

if you try to
stare her down
she will win in the end
she will burn
your eyes
she will burn them

seen a million places
seen a million
faces die
but i wonder who
will walk with me
when i get to heaven

he said boy
i was young once
yeah i was tough
sailing on
uncle sam's boat

hey i could
kill the enemy
i could die on
foreign streets
but i could not vote

but now
you walk by me
you won't talk to me
say this is my fate

but every time
you walk
the streets boy
most of them
you meet
you see it's you
they hate it's you
yeah

seen a million faces
seen a million
places die
but i wonder who
will walk with me
when i get to heaven
i hope i get there

seen a million places
seen a million
faces die
but i wonder who
will walk with me
when i get there

see this woman
sittin' next to me
she's been there
for a long
long time

and when i fell
she picked me up
and when i cried
she wiped my tears
i thank god she's mine

and when i leave
this world
she won't have
anything but
her love for me

well the man took
everything else he
made me hate myself
so just let us be boy
won't you let us be
yeah

seen a million places
seen a million
faces die
seen a million
mothers cry
seen a billion
brothers dyin'

but i wonder who
will walk with me
when i get there
when i get to heaven
