[Verse 1]
So mDuch to tell that the wCords don't lGast
About the thDings you did between nCow and the pGast
Your mDind seemed clear but we nCever could tGell
If you cDhose the street that you kFnew so wGell
[Pre-Chorus]
And the stCreet lights shone on our feet but we looked to the sGky
We aFll looked to the sDky
[Chorus]
Old GmaDn, tCell us aDgain (Old man, tell us again)
SiGng us the sDongs like you dCid it back tDhen (Old man, like you did it back then)
Old GmaDn, tCell us aDgain (Old man, tell us again)
SiGng us the sDongs like you dCid it back tDhen (Old man, like you did it back then)

[Pre-Chorus]
And the stCreet lights shone on our feet but we looked to the sGky
We aFll looked to the sDky
