lyrics

Stubborn Old Man
Sunday morning, church doors open
Big bells ring and choirs sing, the tithers tithe.
I stayed in bed.
Feeling quite proud of me, I did not bow my head
The congregation gathered round
The alter where the saints began to pray
As I held my breath.
Going through the motions, I fooled the rest.
I’ll be a stubbren old man,
I’ll be a stubbren old man,
Someday
Oh I’m on my way.
I saw you just the other day
We faked our smiles, pretended we were both okay.
I bit my tongue.
I saved you from the words you well deserved.
Cause when we fight, the less I try,
The more I find that you’ve already made your mind,
I’ll say no more.
Oh yes I’d like to make amends,
But not admit I’m wrong.
I’ll be a stubbren old man
I’ll be a stubbren old man
Someday,
Oh I’m on my way.
And here I sit with so called friends,
Adopting thoughts of apathy towards everything.
I’m up in smoke.
I haven’t got a thought I call my own.
And I shake and shiver in my sleep,
And in my head I cry out to anyone
To save my soul,
But I only wanna go to heaven cause I’m terrifies of hell.
I’ll be a stubbren old man,
I’ll be a stubbren old man,
Someday,
Oh I’m on my way.
