ME & THE OLD MAN - ©1988 Rachel Page ® Socan, Canada
 
Me and the old man we get along fine
But we ain't seen each other in a long long time
'Cause he's doing the things that he's gotta do 
And I'm busy doing mine
I remember the look that he gets in his eyes 
I remember the way he talks
And if I concentrate real hard
I can picture the way he walks
And if I concentrate real real hard
I can picture the way he walks
 
We used to hang out in the coffee shop
We used to get drunk in the bar
We'd talk for hours and we'd laugh a lot
About the way that we are
The funny way that we are
 
One day I'll write him a country song
Using every cliche in the book
He always did like a silly song
He used to make them up 
He used to make them up
 
He's a wonderful painter
Got a great sense of humour
He's a hell of a man
Yes I can say that I love him a lot
Though he never was much of a typical dad
But he gave me the strength to follow through
With every one of my crazy plans
Maybe some day we'll see us again
It'll happen sometime when we both can
 
We used to hang out in the coffee shop
We used to get drunk in the bar
We'd talk for hours and we'd laugh a lot
About the way that we are
The funny way that we are
About the way that we are
The funny way that we are
