lyrics

Yeah I'm an old man with a lot of stories
I can tell you that I drove a lot of lorries
I worked this and that, been here and there
Now I have free time and dust in my hair

Come on let's have a beer
I can teach you something
This life wasn't for nothing
Well I'm just honest, I can't help it
If I can't work with you, I'd rather say it

I have a small house for me and my girl
Let's grow a banana tree, give this life a new whirl
And I don't care what the others say
As long as you stay and don't betray

Come on let's have a beer
I can teach you something
This life wasn't for nothing
Well I'm just honest, I can't help it
If I can't work with you, I'd rather say it

Well it's not my bad
I'm just a simple man

Well I'm an old, old man with a lot of stories
I can tell you that I drove a lot of lorries
I worked this and that, been here and there
Now I have free time and dust in my hair
