The Cats - Life's Just A Long, Lonely Road lyrics

I was talking with an old man He was almost seventy-five He told me the story of his life With a tear in his eyes He said: "Son, it's hard to know I've got a few more years to go But it still hurts me more Knowing that I've been wasting my time Life's just a long lonely road That you have to go" With a heavy load on your shoulder Someone can carry it all Somebody stumbles and falls When he stands up he feels so much older And when you're happy once in a while Spend these moments with a smile ‘Cause life's just a gla** of wine you see You've got to drink it for free ‘Cause you'll be dead and gone Before you know you were born Life's just a long lonely road That you have to go With a heavy load on your shoulder Someone can carry it all Somebody stumbles and falls When he stands up he feels so much older ‘Cause you'll be dead and gone Before you know you were born Before you know you were born And you'll be dead and gone Before you know you were born
