Old Man At The Table

There was an old man at the table
As I walked through the door
He just drank his coffee
And watched people come and go
As I was walked by
He looked at me and said,
"Boy, sit down here,
I've got something to tell you."

"Don't spend your days chasing whiskey and women,
Some sins just are'nt forgiven.
Be a good man, and learn how to pray,
Find a woman, and beg her to stay."

The old man at the table
Told me about his life
Past battles and fights
The troubles of his youth
He told me about when he cried
And that time he almost died
And to remember
You've only one life to live

"Don't spend your days chasing whiskey and women,
Some sins just are'nt forgiven.
Be a good man, and learn how to pray,
and when you find a woman, and beg her to stay."

The old man at the table
He changed my life
And I never thanked him
No I didn't know his name
But I think about him
Every now and then
As his words echo
'Round my head

"Don't spend your days chasing whiskey and women,
Some sins just are'nt forgiven.
Be a good man, and learn how to pray,
Find a woman, and beg her to stay."
