    "Me and my old man
  • Don't see eye to eye
    We take our walks outside

  • He said I think it's gonna freeze this year
    I said I gotta get away from here
    Me and my old man
  • Me and my old man"

    Second Verse Lyrics:
  • "So we walked along the mending walls
    Laid beneath the tortured talls
    And we sang a song of newfound cheer
  • Laughed at the passing years
    Yeah we talked about things to come
    Talked about the battles won
  • He said I think it's gonna freeze this year
    I said I gotta get away from here"
