♪ There’s an old man in a La-Z-Boy ♪

♪ TV on a Western, fast asleep ♪

♪ Gray in his hair, at least what’s left ♪

♪ But the heart of a lion beating in his chest ♪

♪ And there’s a little more slow in his go ♪

♪ A little less rock in his roll these days ♪

♪ But I remember him 10 feet tall and bulletproof ♪

♪ Throwing me a ball in cowboy boots ♪

♪ A whistle and the dogs start running ♪

♪ A whisper and Mama starts blushing ♪

♪ A wrench in his hand and a beer in the other ♪

♪ God couldn’t make a man any tougher ♪

♪ And that “S” on his chest is starting to fade ♪

♪ But I’ll always remember him that way ♪

♪ I used to think that he’d never get old ♪

♪ That kind of thing was for regular Joes ♪

♪ And he tries real hard to put up a fight ♪

♪ But I guess time is his kryptonite ♪

♪ Cause I remember him 10 feet tall and bulletproof ♪

♪ Throwing me a ball in cowboy boots ♪

♪ A whistle and the dogs start running ♪

♪ A whisper and Mama starts blushing ♪

♪ A wrench in his hand and a beer in the other ♪

♪ God couldn’t make a man any tougher ♪

♪ And that “S” on his chest is starting to fade ♪

♪ But I’ll always remember him that way ♪

♪ There’s a little more slow in his go ♪

♪ A little less rock in his roll these days ♪

♪ But I remember him 10 feet tall and bulletproof ♪

♪ Throwing me a ball in cowboy boots ♪

♪ A whistle and the dogs start running ♪

♪ A whisper and Mama starts blushing ♪

♪ A wrench in his hand and a beer in the other ♪

♪ God couldn’t make a man any tougher ♪

♪ And that “S” on his chest is starting to fade ♪

♪ But there’s some things time can’t erase ♪
