Old Man's Bones - Poor Old Jonesy

Poor Old Jonesy he's gone slugging up the hill
His body may fail him, but his spirit never will
He's seen so many things and he's been so many places
Some memories are clear and some are just traces

He sees the street kids and they are playing tap and go
He has a smile to himself 'cause he knows he knows what they know
He's been so many things and he's worn so many faces
Some are still with him and some are just traces

He sees young Jimmy boy stealing his daddy's car
He's stealing his father's love so he knows he won't go too far
Pausing for breath old Jonesy he looks back down the hill
Feels his spirit sustain him and swears, "This old body kills me"

Raises his eyes and feels the sun on his face
Brings back a memory but it's only a trace
Remembers being like Jimmy all those years ago, he shrugs
That kids got to find his own way no one can tell him where to go

He's so tired from slugging up that hill
He's so Damn tired slugging up that hill
Tired oh yeah
Oh yeah he's so tired
So tired
Ah he's so damn tired

So tired, oh yeah he's so tired
He's so tired, tired
