old shufflin' man aged ninety two creaks out of bed slides his feet into old shufflin' shoes draggin' ass passin' gas eyes his old cat stretching on the vent "and this is how my life has went" "not too bad for an old fart like me" no one comes or calls no one wants to hear about his loves or his needs or his fears she died when he was eighty five they were quite a pair very much alive said she'd wait for him "on the other side" told him not to hurry she had nothing but time
old shufflin' man sitting alone at his table by the window watching life pass him by "ain't gonna just sit here and cry ain't gonna just lay down and die"
he made his mark in the big war bringing home memories of his old friends and tales to tell "life was good then life was swell"
his old uniform hangs on the door adorned with medals dusty boots on the floor "those were my living times" he said many times before
now his days have come and gone he has had too many years of being alone the darkness has settled 'round the shadows have lengthened his body is failed and worn old shufflin' man will shuffle no longer he met his maker at ten past four
