《Old Dogs (LP版)》歌词

[00:00:09] Old Dogs (LP Version)-Old Dogs

[00:00:20] How old do you think I am?he said.

[00:00:25] I said, well, I didnt know.

[00:00:27] He said, I turned 65 about 11 months ago.

[00:00:30] I was sittin in miami pourin blended whiskey down

[00:00:32] When this old gray black gentleman was cleanin up the lounge

[00:00:36] There wasnt anyone around cept this old man and me

[00:00:39] The guy who ran the bar was watchin ironsides on tv

[00:00:41] Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind

[00:00:44] On old dogs and children and watermelon wine

[00:00:47] Ever had a drink of watermelon wine?he asked

[00:00:50] He told me all about it, though I didnt answer back

[00:00:53] Ain't but three things in this world thats worth a solitary dime,

[00:00:57] But old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

[00:01:22] He said, women think about they-selves, when menfolk ain't around.

[00:01:26] And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down.

[00:01:29] He said, I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime;

[00:01:33] Now its old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

[00:01:36] Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes;

[00:01:39] God bless little children while theyre still too young to hate.

[00:01:42] When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line

[00:01:46] bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine.

[00:01:58] I had to catch a plane up to atlanta that next day

[00:01:59] As I left for my room I saw him pickin up my change

[00:02:01] That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime

[00:02:03] Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine.
