Neil Young - Old Man Lyrics

Neil Young Lyrics

"Old Man"

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
Twenty four
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 don'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
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true

Lullabies, look in your eyes
Run around the same old town
Doesn't mean that much to me
To 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
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that'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

Writer(s): Neil Young

The caretaker of Neil Young's ranch was the inspiration for this song. He lived there when Young bought the ranch.

During the recording session the drummer was required by Young to play only with his left hand in order not to use the hi-hat.

James Taylor played a banjo for this song, though the banjo was tuned to sound like a guitar.

This song was played during the actor Heath Ledger's memorial service.

This song is featured in many films, e.g. at the end of "The Expendables 3" and in the TV series "Californication".
