This Old Man and Me This old man and me We're at the bar and we We're having us some beers and Swapping night on cares We're talking politics And blonde and redhead chicks Old dogs and new tricks And habits we ain't kicked We talked about God's grace And all the hell we raised Then I heard the old man say God is great and beer is good And people are crazy He said, I fought two wars Been married and divorced What brings you to Ohio? He said, damn if I know We talked an hour or two About every girl we knew What all we put on through Like two old boys will do We pondered life and death He lit a cigarette Said, these damn things will kill me, yeah But God is great and beer is good And people are crazy Last call was 2 a.m. I said goodbye to him I never talked to him again Then one sunny day I saw the old man's face Front page obituary He was a millionaire He left his fortune too Some guy he barely knew His kids were mad as hell But me, I'm doing well And I drop by today To just say thanks and pray And I left a six-pack Right there on his grave And I said God is great and beer is good And people are crazy God is great and beer is good And people are crazy God is great and beer is good And people are crazy And people are crazy
