Talking Old Soldiers Lyrics

    Lyrics by bernie taupin
    Available on the album tumbleweed connection

    Why hello, say can i buy you another glass of beer
    Well thanks a lot that's kind of you, it's nice to know you care
    These days there's so much going on
    No one seems to want to know
    I may be just an old soldier to some
    But i know how it feels to grow old

    Yeah that's right, you can see me here most every night
    You'll always see me staring at the walls and at the lights
    Funny i remember oh it's years ago i'd say
    I'd stand at that bar with my friends who've passed away
    And drink three times the beer that i can drink today
    Yes i know how it feels to grow old


    I know what they're saying son
    There goes old man joe again
    Well i may be mad at that i've seen enough
    To make a man go out his brains
    Well do they know what it's like
    To have a graveyard as a friend
    `cause that's where they are boy, all of them
    Don't seem likely i'll get friends like that again


    Well it's time i moved off
    But it's been great just listening to you
    And i might even see you next time i'm passing through
    You're right there's so much going on
    No one seems to want to know
    So keep well, keep well old friend
    And have another drink on me
    Just ignore all the others you got your memories
    You got your memories
