Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine - Adam Harvey (Adam Harvey)[00:00:00]
How old do you think I am he said[00:00:13]
I said well I didn't know[00:00:17]
He said I turned sixty five about[00:00:22]
Eleven months ago[00:00:27]
I was sitting in miami pouring[00:00:29]
Blended whiskey down[00:00:35]
When this old gray black gentleman[00:00:38]
Was cleaning up the lounge[00:00:44]
There wasn't anyone around accept[00:00:50]
This old man and me[00:00:54]
The guy who ran the bar was[00:00:59]
Watching iron sides on tv[00:01:02]
Uninvited he sat down and[00:01:08]
Opened up his mind[00:01:12]
On old dogs and children[00:01:16]
And watermelon wine[00:01:22]
Ever had a drink of watermelon[00:01:28]
Wine he asked[00:01:33]
He told me all about it though[00:01:36]
I didn't answer back[00:01:41]
He siad ain't but three things in this world[00:01:44]
That's worth a solitary dime[00:01:48]
But old dogs and children[00:01:53]
And watermelon wine[00:01:58]
He said women think about they selves[00:02:04]
When menfolk ain't around[00:02:09]
And friends are hard to find[00:02:12]
When they discover that you're down[00:02:16]
He said I tried it all[00:02:22]
When I was young and[00:02:24]
In my natural prime[00:02:27]
Now it's old dogs and children[00:02:30]
And watermelon wine[00:02:36]
Old dogs care about you even[00:02:42]
When you make mistakes[00:02:46]
God bless little children[00:02:51]
While they're still too young to hate[00:02:54]
When he moved away I found my pen[00:02:58]
And copied down that line[00:03:03]
Bout old dogs and children[00:03:08]
And watermelon wine[00:03:13]
I had to catch a plane up to[00:03:30]
Atlanta that next day[00:03:34]
As I left for my room[00:03:38]
I saw him picking up my change[00:03:42]
That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep[00:03:47]
Of shady summertime[00:03:52]
Of old dogs and children and[00:03:56]
Watermelon wine[00:04:02]
