I met an old man one night in a bar[00:00:20]

He was sitting alone[00:00:28]

The way men his age always are[00:00:32]

His movements were slow[00:00:37]

Didn't speak very well[00:00:40]

But every old man has a story to tell[00:00:44]

He lived by the book[00:00:56]

Went to church every day[00:01:05]

But his wife left him young[00:01:09]

With two daughters and bills to pay[00:01:13]

He worked himself hard[00:01:17]

And the years flickered past[00:01:21]

His girls kept him young[00:01:33]

But they grew up so fast[00:01:37]

Prodigal faith always felt second best[00:01:43]

When she turned seventeen[00:01:51]

She took her coat and her camera[00:01:53]

And headed west[00:01:56]

It broke her dad's heart[00:01:59]

But as he likes to say[00:02:02]

With enough time apart[00:02:10]

Even faith fades away[00:02:18]

Jenny met ray in his last days ashore[00:02:37]

They married in may[00:03:01]

And that August he joined the war[00:03:04]

He said jenny don't cry[00:03:08]

I'll be home in the fall[00:03:12]

So she held her head high[00:03:16]

And said nothing at all[00:03:18]

Then he got in a plane[00:03:24]

Took it up in the air[00:03:33]

It never came down[00:03:42]

For all she knows it's stlil[00:03:44]

Flying around up there[00:03:45]

Then jenny went wrong[00:03:50]

And the last that I heard[00:03:53]

It's been seven years long[00:03:57]

Since she uttered a word[00:04:01]

Seven years gone[00:04:06]

Since she uttered a word[00:04:09]

Now her father just sits[00:04:20]

All alone at the bar[00:04:24]

He orders his drinks[00:04:28]

And smokes cigarettes[00:04:30]

He knows he can't afford[00:04:32]

He's got no regrets[00:04:36]

Says he's doing quite well[00:04:40]

But every old man[00:04:44]

Has a story to tell[00:04:54]
