Father's Getting Old Lyrics & Tabs by Chrysalis
Father's Getting Old
guitar chords lyrics
Waiting for the big bands to come back he flips the TV
Switch to channel 5 and rushes out to get a beer
Sits and drinks it while he waits for them to start the ball game
Wonders why he doesn't recognize the players' names this year
Father's getting old.
Yesterday he used to know the score in everygame
Back in '23 and '24
Now he can't remember where he left his only pipe
Guess it doesn't matter anyway
His wife is calling him to dinner and he tells her
Wait, there's just a couple seconds until the game is through
Wondering why his watch is off
He laughs and doesn't find out
Damn, he figures it's because there's nothing else for him to do
Father's getting old.
He laughs and doesn't find out
Damn, he figures it's because there's nothing else for him to do
Father's getting old.
Yesterday, he used to go hear Benny Goodman play
Wonder if his band is still around
yes, the things he understands get rarer every day
Guess it doesn't matter anyway
Father's getting old.
