The Old Man And Me

(J.J. Cale)
The old man he catches the fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank and I holler when he passes
'Hey, old man, are they biting today?'
I wake up in the morning, thinking bout my troubles
I go down to the water and they pass away
And when the old man comes a-floating down the river
'Hey, old man, are they biting today?'
Now here weve got a thing that keeps on rolling
It aint heavy, dont take it that way
The old man and me, we got a good thing going
He gets his fish and I sit all day
He gets his fish and I sit all day
