lyrics

An old man sat next to me in a small town bar
Gave me a nod and wink unwrapped a new cigar
With slicked back hair and a pencil thin mustache
Gave that cigar a long sniff and then put it back

Ordered a beer and a bump saif make it a few
Gave me a look and said better get him one too
Our reflectins stared back at us from behind the bar
A singer filled the place with his old Gibson guitar

Guess I didn't know what I'd find
On a bar stool down at the Mill just trying to hide

The singer he growled out a song about a Poet Game
I sat in silence thinking of those far away
The old man's eyes wrinkled with a smile so sly
He said "A man who limits his interests limits his life."

Singer sang of Mose Allison and Billy from the hills
My thoughts went to dreams died and htose fulfilled
He turned and said "Do you ever rub your eyes and suddenly find
You're awake and not asleep like you thought, just alive?"

Songs rose and fell to hymns that were left
Each beer and a bump left us more bereft
Clinking glasses for the times that we shared
He said, "It's as much fun to scare as it is to be scared."

He took another sip and set his glass next to mine
And placed my hand in his and looked me in the eyes
"I know what I like, I like art, and I like what I know."
I shook my head and Greg sang why don't you just go home
