Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album tumbleweed connection<br><br>Why hello, say can I buy you another glass of beer<br>Well thanks a lot that's kind of you, it's nice to know you care<br>These days there's so much going on<br>No one seems to want to know<br>I may be just an old soldier to some<br>But I know how it feels to grow old<br><br>Yeah that's right, you can see me here most every night<br>You'll always see me staring at the walls and at the lights<br>Funny I remember oh it's years ago I'd say<br>I'd stand at that bar with my friends who've passed away<br>And drink three times the beer that I can drink today<br>Yes I know how it feels to grow old<br><br>I know what they're saying son<br>There goes old man joe again<br>Well I may be mad at that I've seen enough<br>To make a man go out his brains<br>Well do they know what it's like<br>To have a graveyard as a friend<br>`cause that's where they are boy, all of them<br>Don't seem likely I'll get friends like that again<br><br>Well it's time I moved off<br>But it's been great just listening to you<br>And I might even see you next time I'm passing through<br>You're right there's so much going on<br>No one seems to want to know<br>So keep well, keep well old friend<br>And have another drink on me<br>Just ignore all the others you got your memories<br>You got your memories
