Old Bones    (1980)

Old bones inside an old raincoat
Old bones inside of old shoes
Old friends from the hotel
Come by to wish me well
And keep me up to date on all the old news

Sometimes I have me a whiskey
And fall asleep in my chair
I dream that I'm a man
Much younger than I am
I'll bet you think by now that I wouldn't care

But I love life, I'd like to do it again
Though I might not be much more than I've ever been
Just to have the chance to turn back the hands
And let my life begin
Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again

It's time for takin' it easy
It's time for takin' it slow
Old bones don't move so fast
Like they did once in the past
Now if I have to run, I simply don't go

But I love life, I'd like to do it again
Though I might not be much more than I've ever been
Just to have the chance to turn back the hands
And let my life begin
Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again

Oh yeah, I'd like to do it again

Lyrics by John Hadley.
