Two hours late from Abilene, climbing on the stage,
Em                              A                D
Hail the conquering hero on the Tribune's second page.

When a voice called from a table about thirty years away:

"Play us some of the old songs like you used to play."
"Sing us some of the old songs, roll the years away."
Lots of old and friendly faces - see 'em walking in,
Saying, "Sing us some of the old songs, make us young again.
Go on and sing us some of the old songs, make us young again!"

Two hours after last night's show, in the backstage dressing room,
Signing autographs for them who asked, "Please come back real soon."
"It's good to hear you sing again, don't stay away so long,
But Bob, how come you didn't sing more those good old songs?"

"Play us some of the old songs like you used to play."
"Sing us some of the old songs, roll the years away."
Lots of old and friendly faces - see 'em walking in,
Saying, "Sing us some of the old songs, make us young again.
Go on and sing us some of the old songs, make us young again!"

Three a.m. at the Earl of Old Town, Jimmy's stacking chairs,
Gus is counting up the take and I'm stumbling up the stairs.
With a slightly-over-thirty waitress, some of the fella's new,
I said, "Let me tell you, darling, 'bout the changes I've been through."

She said, "Play me some of the old songs like you used to play.
Sing me some of the old songs, roll the years away."
Lots of old and friendly faces - see 'em walking in,
Saying, "Sing us some of the old songs the way it was back then.
Go on and sing us some of the old songs, make us young again!"

(Words and music by Bob Gibson and Shel Silverstein, 1977)
