A man too old for the place he was at
Adjusting to change with his dog and his cat
Surrounded by youth in a house with no soul
Out of his realm like a fish from a bowl
The dancing, the sex, the drugs and the booze
Passed it up long ago for a wife he would lose
Now along came a chance, a second at that
All the things he had missed, again he came back
The shots he would down, the bongs he would toke
The rooms full of orgies and beer pong and smoke
His age was a novelty, a topic of jest
Man’s 20 years late and his old bones need rest
He taught us bout’ Zepplin and Floyd in their heyday
Introduced us to Sanford and All in the Family
We taught him to hip hop and keg stand and techno
When things got too raunchy, face red, he’d say “heck no”
His nickname was Old Man, he took it in stride
So genuinely retro, impossible to hide
Some pictures and memories are all I can find
Of the Old Man in college who lived again for the first time.
