Little Bit of Something

Give me a little bit of somethin' I can use
To try to shake away these old man blues
Give me a little bit of somethin' I can use

When my teeth fall out and my hair turns grey
And all I got is memories of yesterday's you

Well my sister called me up just the other day
She said "Things ain't been the same since you've gone away"
My sister called me up just the other day
I said "Say 'hi' to mum and dad and I miss 'em so
But girl you gotta know when you gotta go away"

Well you can stay in the same place 'til the day you die
And watch it fade away right before your eyes
As everything you've ever known disappears

Or you can leave the only town that you've ever known
But God only knows where you will roam
And when you finally come back there's nothin' there

So I open up a window, try to get some air
And I start to get to thinkin' of my friends back there
I open up a window, try to get some air

Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields
All the rivers and the bridges and the broken wheels repaired

Well you can stay in the same place 'til the day you die
And watch it fade away right before your eyes
As everything you've ever known disappears

Or you can leave the only town that you've ever known
When God only knows where you will roam
And when you finally come back there's nothin' there
No, nothin' there

Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields
All the rivers and the ditches and broken wheels repaired
Cross the long dirt roads to burnt out fields
All the rivers and the ditches and broken wheels repaired
