Old Man is one of Neil Young's best songs. Neil has a had a long career full of twists and turns. Sometimes his work soars, sometimes it hits the ground hard. Either way he's kept us listening for over 50 years how.

As he says in the introduction to the song, Old Man was inspired by the foreman at his newly purchased ranch in Northern California.

The older I get, the more I relate to this song, even though I'm slowly turning into an old man myself. Enjoy.

Old Man


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.
