Larry Joe Taylor - The Old Men And The Sea lyrics

They're sittin' around on the benches Hangin' out in the bars Sun-made cracks and wrinkles The sea-made fishin' scars They got enough rhymes and reasons To make a short story tall But they ain't sayin' nothin' Even though they know it all (Chorus) It's anybody's guess so don't ask me That's between the old men The old men and the sea Back when they were all younger Out on Crescent Bay The current they were fishin' in Swept one of them away Try as they might to find him None of them ever could If they'd looked forever Would it have done any good (Chorus) There were rumors they were drinkin' Rumors of a fight Rumors that you never wanna Hear about that night Anytime they're together You can cut it with a knife The only thing they won't talk about Is that one time in their life The papers said it was an accident Or did he just swim away Only them old men know for sure What happened out on that bay (Chorus) So they're sittin' around on the benches Hangin' out in the bars Sun-made cracks and wrinkles And the sea-made fishin' scars
