Old Man Mark's Goodbye
acoustic melodic countryLyrics
[Verse]
Old Man Mark's been workin' forty years,
With calloused hands and a heart sincere,
Electric lines and the neighborhood's lights,
Now he's packin' up for those quiet nights.
[Verse 2]
Young Dan Marine with his big ol' grin,
Thinks he knows it all, that greenhorn sin,
Mark shakes his head at the boy's mistakes,
Time to get away before he breaks.
[Chorus]
Goodbye wires, goodbye tools,
No more dealing with young fools,
Gonna find peace in that country air,
Old Man Mark is finally there.
[Verse 3]
Coffee at dawn, not a single care,
Fishing poles and a rocking chair,
Trade his voltage for sunrise skies,
Freedom's here, it's no disguise.
[Verse 4]
Dan Marine can wrestle lines alone,
Mark's off the grid, he's gone home,
No more 'lectric, no more alarms,
Just country life and open arms.
[Chorus]
Goodbye wires, goodbye tools,
No more dealing with young fools,
Gonna find peace in that country air,
Old Man Mark is finally there.
