Old man walking slow standing on the side of the road Waiting on the mail to run Ran a little short this week, ain't had a lot to eat He'll be alright when that check comes He can't help thinking when he was a younger man Where does all the time go So hard to understand If I could run one more time You'd all see me pa**ing by And you'd say my oh my Look at him run Lord if I could run Old lady sitting on the side of the bed Trying to remember now just exactly who she is Bits and pieces now so hard to comprehend Where eighty years of memories have gone She remembers when she was a little girl
If she could find them satin dancing shoes And give them one more whirl If I could run one more time You'd all see me pa**ing by And you'd say my oh my Look at him run Some day I'll run Once again I'll turn my face into the wind And with my back to the golden sun I would run. Lord if I could run There's a power in the morning And a promise to every man There's another dawn coming And we'll all be young again Young man in a uniform Metals on his chest Proud of America he's one of the best Stuck in a wheelchair now But he's got no regrets Says I'd do the same thing again
