And the old man said
"Son, I don´t have l don´t long to live"
And he slowly raised his cup and he took a sip
And the old man said
"I fought a dang good fight"

So I pulled up a chair and sat there half the night

And the old man said
"Don´t take a single day for granted
Love like there´s no tomorrow
Tattoo the seeds you planted
Be a good friend and a brother
Love your children and their mother
And die by those living words in red"
And the old man said

"Money really ain´t worth a dime"
Then gave me his golden watch
Said, "It´s all borrowed time"
And the old man said
"If I could do it all again
I´d spend more time loving her and a little more time fishing"

And the old man said
"Don´t take a single day for granted
Love like there´s no tomorrow
Tattoo the seeds you planted
Be a good friend and a brother
Love your children and their mother
And die by those living words in red"
And the old man said

Don´t build walls around your heart
Never shackle up your soul
Love is the only thing that you´ll take with you when you go
Always be quick to forgive
Forever slow to throw stones
Just like a flash, life is a dash between the girth and the bones

And the old man said
"Son I can see the light"
Then he took my hand and he squeezed it tight
The last thing the old man said
"Don´t you dare be scared of death
It´s only the beginning"
And he took his last breath
