Old Man Nagel (Remaster) Lyrics

Out back where the river flows

Lives a man among the trees

On a moonlight night you could hear the melodies

As the song carries on the breeze

You could sit out in your front yard

And watch the tone as it passed

You could tell that he was having fun

Singing songs of new and and past

You could hear it

Loud and clear

Old man was jammin

And drinkin beer

They just don't write like that anymore

You knew what you were getting from the first chord

A little bit of rock, a little bit of blues

To pick just one there's no way I could choose

When Old Man Nagel started to jam out the tunes

It didn't matter if it was a weekday

Or even the time of night

I wish I could seen the old man jam

Bet it was one hell of a site

The inflection in his voice

And the tone in that guitar

But you know that it was all for fun

He didn't really want to be a star

You could hear it

Loud and clear

Old man was jammin

And drinkin beer

They just don't write like that anymore

You knew what you were getting from the first chord

A little bit of rock, a little bit of blues

To pick just one there's no way I could choose

When Old Man Nagel started to jam out the tunes

Now that the days have past

I wonder what he's doing now

I drove past the old farm

And there's nothing but a rush old plow

Time can take the great ones

But their music lives on

Sometimes I think of Old Man Nagel

And I think about his songs

You could hear it

Loud and clear

Old man was jammin

And drinkin beer

They just don't write like that anymore

You knew what you were getting from the first chord

A little bit of rock, a little bit of blues

To pick just one there's no way I could choose

When Old Man Nagel started to jam out the tunes
