The Old Man Boogie

Verse 1

Sitting on the porch this evening

Wooden chair beneath the fading sun

Forty years of morning paper

Now the pages just weigh a ton

Her picture on the mantel

I still talk to it sometimes

She'd laugh to see me shuffling

These two left feet of mine

Pre-Chorus

The record spins it's worn and thin

But something in the groove begins

Chorus

The Old Man Boogie it takes me away

Carries me down a dusty country lane

Two hands in the air and a heart full of grace

The Old Man Boogie it takes me away

Verse 2

The neighbors watch me through the window

They don't know the one I'm holding close

A memory with a faded ribbon

And a tune nobody knows

I close my eyes and I'm twenty-five

With a girl who wore a summer dress

Pre-Chorus

The record spins it's worn and thin

And I'm dancing like I'm young again

Chorus

The Old Man Boogie it takes me away

Carries me down a dusty country lane

Two hands in the air and a heart full of grace

The Old Man Boogie it takes me away

Bridge

Swaying slow across the linoleum

She's humming soft along with me

Worn out boots on worn out floors

But love don't mind geography

Chorus

The Old Man Boogie it takes me away

Carries me down a dusty country lane

Two hands in the air and a heart full of grace

The Old Man Boogie it takes me away

Outro

Takes me away

Mm

Takes me away
