Off he goes    Down the road    Who knows how many    He's been down before.      With all the years    He's comes to know    Does he wonder if he's    Gonna see one more.      Hanging on to yesterdays   Til'too many tomorrow's are today   With all the turns the road will bring   Well, a young man's gotta wait and see.      Will I ever be the old man   Whose words young ones ponder on   Will I ever take a lady's hand   And will I ever be the old man   Who finds that he's too far gone   Will, there come a day when I can't stand    Am I gonna live that long?      Reaching out    For days to come   Where an old man walks    A young man runs.      The road I know    Is bound to end   Still I can't help wonderin'   Where and when.      Will I ever be the old man   Whose words young ones ponder on   Will I ever take a lady's hand   And will I ever be the old man   Who finds that he's too far gone   Will there come a day when I can't stand    Tell me am I gonna live that long?..      --- Instrumental to fade ---
