[Dm] See this old man he had a name we didn't know it, and this [F] old man he dealt with pain but
didn't show it, and this [C] old man on the porch newspaper [G] in his lap [Dm] had a Vietnam patch and
a flag on his back, gray stringy beard and bloodshot eyes, [F] one day he disappeared like
a thief in [C] the night, he was gone.
So I wrote this song the [Dm] old man was never wrong but he was always [C] alone, why?
Many paid his dues, he told us all stories couldn't walk in his [Dm] shoes, and he was just
eighteen when he wrote that check, and what do you expect he ain't cashed it [C] yet, it's
been a long time since seventy five, but it ain't been long since we watched him [Dm] cry,
why?
He never lived in high cotton, just another old man [Am] forgot.
This old man [F] was like a shadow, [C] and his [G] hands were strong and bold, [Am] this old man he [F] fought
the battle, [C] where he's gone [G] nobody knows.
[Dm] He left quick like a thief in the night, politics had him losing the fight, another vet left
out in the [F] cold, killed a man for my freedom let the story be [C] told, why?
Because this man is a [Dm] hero, and what he take when he left here's hero, damn shame didn't
have no [F] name, when he drunk we all listened cause we felt his [C] pain, why?
He never lived in high [Dm] cotton, just another old man forgot.
