Never thought it would happen
Thought he'd be young forever
Just go on and on
Get better and better
He had a lot of women
They just came and went
The years flew by
Now his youth is spent

He's a Lonely Old Man
His future's in the past
It's all behind him
It just didn't last
Lonely Old Man
His family's all dead
He looks in the mirror
He's no kid

He wonders who will find him
When his face hits the floor
When he's breathed his last
When he's breathing no more
His wife, she divorced him
He hardly sees his son
When the rent's overdue
Then someone will come

He's a Lonely Old Man
His future's in the past
It's all behind him
It just didn't last
Lonely Old Man
His family's all dead
He looks in the mirror
He's no kid

The youngest become the oldest
Then they die off
You think it's gonna end
But life goes on

He's a Lonely Old Man
His future's in the past
It's all behind him
It just didn't last
Lonely Old Man
His family's all dead
He looks in the mirror
He's no kid
