Don’t let the old man in.

Vocals: American singer-songwriter and actor Toby Keith (Toby Keith Covel).

Lyrics: Toby Keith.

“Not letting the old man in”, could be the secret to living longer.
Song lyrics inspired by a question Toby Keith asked of American actor and film director Clint Eastwood (latter then aged 87 back in 2017). He asked how Eastwood managed to keep going at his age?
Clint Eastwood replied; “I just don’t let the old man in”.

Don’t let the old man in.

Don’t let the old man in,
I wanna leave this alone.
Can’t leave it up to him,
He’s knocking on my door.

And I knew all of my life,
That someday it would end.
Get up and go outside,
Don’t let the old man in.

Many moons I have lived,
My body’s weathered and worn.
Ask yourself how would you be,
If you didn’t know the day you were born.

Try to love on your wife,
And stay close to your friends.
Toast each sundown with wine,
Don’t let the old man in.

Many moons I have lived.
My body’s weathered and worn.
Ask yourself how would you be,
If you didn’t know the day you were born.

When he rides up on his horse,
And you feel that cold bitter wind.
Look out your window and smile,
Don’t let the old man in.

Look out your window and smile,
Don’t let the old man in.

END.
