Letras
You were built up and then pulled down
Just like the old buildings in this dirty old town
You were used up and then phased out
Just like the old machines that they can now do without
You were cashed in and then sold out
By all the people papers write their stories about
You were you were my friend
And I can look back on your history
At everything you did for me
Old man you’re the one
Who would walk so I could run
You say don’t think twice
Let me give you some advice
Be everything you can be
Your future’s my legacy
The blossom on this old tree
Complete and then obsolete
Just like the leaves blowing down a forgotten street
You were caged up and then shipped out
To where the fields were barren, dry and thirsty from drought
You were admired and then retired
Just like a beauty queen now she’s no longer desired
You were you were my friend
And I can look back on your history
At everything you did for me
Old man you’re the one
Who would walk so I could run
You say don’t think twice
Let me give you some advice
Be everything you can be
Your future’s my legacy
The blossom on this old tree
