[Verse 1]
Old man give me endless time
Never let these ties sever
It's breaking bottles in the yard
Never still my mind again

[Chorus]
Mmm
Like old ties and companions
Just sitting on the fence

[Verse 2]
The tunes we've carried through the years will change
And man that's just enough
To keep these ghosts around those haunted fields

[Chorus]
Mmm
Like old ties and companions
You and I were just passing through

[Bridge]
It's a hundred thousand miles of lonely track
Holding back tomorrow
Someday I'll hop along and ride it home
[Chorus 2]
Like old ties and companions
We never leave alone

[Outro]
So old man give me endless time never let these ties sever
So heaven knows and all this fooling around
These times won't last forever, afterall
