Lyrics:Old Man [Version (a)]:
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
24 and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two
Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that won't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes
And you can tell it's true
Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
Does it mean that much to you?
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Old man, take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Oh, one look in my eyes
And you can tell it's true
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
Old man, look at my life
I'm a lot like you were
The Song:"Old Man" is originally a song by Neil Young, found on his album
Harvest.
Beck released a studio cover in September 2022 to all streaming services and as part of a TV commercial for an NFL game.
We don't have all the credits, but it seems to be Beck in one-man band mode. It is a solid re-creation of Young's original, and at times even Beck's voice sounds eerily similar.
