My Old Man

I may play the A (x07650) as an alternative to standard position I miss my old man tonight I wish he was here with me With his corny jokes, and his cheap cigars He could look you in the eye, and sell you a car Thatâ??s not an easy thing to do, but no one ever knew A more charming creature on this earth Than my old man He was a pilot in the big war In the US Army Air Corp In a C-47, with a heavy load Carried combat cargo oâ??er Burma Road And after they dropped the bomb, he came home and married mom And not too long after that He was my old man And all the fights that we had When my brother and I got him mad Heâ??d get all choked up, and start to shout I knew what was coming, and I tuned him out And now the old man is gone, and Iâ??d give all I own Just to hear what he said, when I wasnâ??t listing To my old man I miss the old man tonight I can almost see his face He was always trying to watch his weight His heart only made it to fifty-eight For the first time since he died, late last night I cried I was wondering when I was gonna go and do that For my old man
