Tuning: , E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You'll always
hear me say "H
ello, Ma'am"
"Thank you", "Good mornin'", "Lookin' fine"
It's all those
old folks lef
t here waiting
That left my h
eart into my m
ind
[Chorus 1]
It's a sad, sa
d feeling
To still be ar
ound
[Verse 2]
On every sunny
Sunday mornin
g
All golden-aged and sittin' in
Comes out to p
utter in the s
unshine
And shuffle th
rough his deck
of bins
[Chorus 2]
It's a sad, sa
d feeling
To still be ar
ound
And it's the s
ame old tired
park bench
Nobody's found
[Verse 3]
Soft wrinkled
stories if you
listen
About the lazy days back when
Your mom and d
ad were little
babies
And he had fri
ends still liv
in' then
[Chorus 3]
It's a sad, sa
d feeling
To still be ar
ound
And it's the s
ame old tired
park bench
Nobody's found
There was a tr
ee put there f
or shading
That they cut
down
[Verse 4]
The fields he
loved got turn
ed to highways
From horse to car to plane to moon
Staying well m
eant that he f
eels older
Yet none of hi
s kids have th
e room
[Chorus 4]
It's a sad, sa
d feeling
To still be ar
ound
And it's the s
ame old tired
park bench
Nobody's found
There was a tr
ee put there f
or shading
That they cut
down
And his old sh
oes had worn a
spot there
From grass to
ground
[Outro]
